High on my list are:

The Hobbit (listed first since it is pictured)
most of Narnia
About half the books of the Bible
a bunch of children’s books
Fahrenheit 451
Gatsby
Romeo & Juliet
some nonfiction that I’d have to check again

[The Book Land @the_book_land]

I'm curious: what books have you reread the most?

[Mark E. @tinyurltweets]

@EmmaRSotomayor Good to know. I've always thought of it as an autumn book, based solely on having watched the old TV series and then reading a couple chapter excerpts.

Perhaps I'll borrow it this month.

@OttavioMCMLXI Hi Auto:

[Mark E. @tinyurltweets]

@OliverJia1014 I'm guessing the OP has yet to receive a single solitary grey hair.

[Mark E. @tinyurltweets]

@drewdyck NO.

[Mark E. @tinyurltweets]

@NorCalSportsNW IMO, it’s possible they do this.

BUT, they would have to get a HAUL, including GREAT young pitching.

Logan Webb is under contract for 2.5 years more. And he’s still super valuable. And it’s hard to find a better dude, especially one who’s local.

Better to keep the leader.

@JeremyWingert79 So much pop and rock music is this way.

[Mark E. @tinyurltweets]

@zackiejoe @JohnSheaHey Yeah, but he’s been not good. This is a good thing.

[Mark E. @tinyurltweets]

@JohnSheaHey Logan Webb can help turn this team around, that’s for sure.

[Mark E. @tinyurltweets]

@PhillipLytle It’s possible. And you speak from the experience of your own offspring.

Personally, I see the Skywalker saga as 6 films + some (wrongly) discredited books/comics/extrapolations.

I haven’t shown my son anything beyond those 6. He’d probably enjoy TFA/TLJ/Rise because he’s young

[Mark E. @tinyurltweets]

Even more amusing to me is how short Luke’s training in Dagobah is. The entire plot of Empire takes, what, a couple weeks at the longest? And Luke is traveling for a fair bit of that time. It’s implied that he lands, gets stuck in the swamp, and Yoda trains him for a couple days.

[Michael F Kane @MichaelFKane]

I love Empire Strikes Back but it also has a plot hole large enough to drive a truck through.

A driving point of the story is the Falcon's malfunctioning hyperdrive, you know, rhat piece of sci-fi tech that let's them travel from one star system to another.

So in order to get it fixed, they fly from the Hoth System to the Bespin System without a hyper drive. 🙄

(Your hand waving explanation also sucks and I will deal with all challengers swiftly and brutally in the replies)

@gggiants This is what I mean when I say the Giants are already in a rebuild. Kickstarted by a poor April, accelerated by a weak May. It is upon them.

[Mark E. @tinyurltweets]

@gggiants With the Giants, it’s more like “This is the team that drafted me and mostly developed me, a local South Bay kid"

[Mark E. @tinyurltweets]

prayers welcome for me and family back home.

[Mark E. @tinyurltweets]

@OliverJia1014 For me, I’m more concerned about my half-Japanese son who has lived here his whole life. Fine, so far, but it might be weird for him in the future. I’m fine always being a 外人. Just want to improve my language skills because that’s the biggest barrier at this point.

[Mark E. @tinyurltweets]

@ImCliffordToday I’m still working through the Backrooms YouTube series.

[Mark E. @tinyurltweets]

@AidanSLytle45 agree with your hot take but definitely have a different order

[Mark E. @tinyurltweets]

@LindaMeadWrites or give it to some readers and see what they think?

[Mark E. @tinyurltweets]

@LindaMeadWrites might as well try a draft or two that way. you may go back and realize that it was okay, or you may figure out how to fix it in the process of retooling it.

[Mark E. @tinyurltweets]

@BenKaspick I don’t think Farhan was *bad* at the draft. (& btw *some* of the scout guys from before are still there.)

What Farhan lacked was an overall vision of the way a successful baseball organization should run, from top to bottom, inside & out. This team is only 1.5 years from him.
