BOOK OF THE WEEK

I recommend this  little and easy to read book to help you understand people. You will find it well worth reading.

Maxims

By La Rochefoucauld

I believe La Rochefoucauld saw the world not always as we wish it to be, but as it really is. For instance he says, “A bore is a fool who insists on telling you about himself, when you want to tell him about yourself.”

MOVIE OF THE WEEK

I strongly recommend this film if you are a fan of Hercule Poirot,  like a  well done film, or looking for something a bit scary for Halloween.

Kenneth Branagh has finally got his Hercule Poirot down, although David Suchet will always remain “the” Hercule Poirot.

A Haunting in Venice (2023)

A Haunting in Venice is a 2023 American mystery film produced and directed by Kenneth Branagh; loosely based on the 1969 Agatha Christie novel Hallowe’en Party. (Source: Wikipedia)

MUSIC OF THE WEEK

Stay (1960)

By Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs

Add’l Information

This doo-wop song was written by Maurice Williams in 1953 when he was 15 years old. He had been trying to convince his date not to go home at 10 o’clock as she was supposed to. He lost the argument

It was recorded & released on August 1960, entered the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 on October 9, 1960 and reached the #1 spot on November 21, 1960.

It remains the shortest single ever to reach the top of the US record charts, at 1:36 min. in length.

ART  OF THE WEEK

I just found this on the internet and it appealed to me.

I have no idea who created it.
