PROMPT: Regretted Reading
Have you ever regretted reading a book — which one and why?
“Hostage” by Robert Crais. The ending was terrible. The protagonist had zero agency in his own survival. They made a movie with Bruce Willis which improved the defect. While the movie may not have been good, per se, it’s my go-to refutation whenever someone squawks that pretentious cliche, “The book is always better than the movie.”

PROMPT: Airport
What’s the best and worst airport you’ve been to?
Best airport: On the basis of keeping one entertained on a long layover or in delay, Changi (Singapore) with its gardens or Amsterdam’s Schiphol with its art museum.
Worst airport: I went through Charles de Gaulle (Paris) a couple times when it was notoriously difficult to navigate transfers, and Kathmandu Tribhuvan when it had nothing but an instant coffee cafe once one was through security.

PROMPT: Most Annoying Trope
What’s the most annoying trope in books or movies?
The McGuffin. A thing chased for the sake of being chased. It only works because humans, like dogs, are programmed to chase certain things without a good sense of whether it’s worth it or what would happen if one ever caught it.

PROMPT: On the Street
What’s the best thing you’ve ever found randomly on the street?
I’d like to say common courtesy, but – honestly – a hundred dollar bill.

PROMPT: Hobby
Share a hobby you’ve picked up recently — what got you into it?
Knitting paracord. I needed to turn a thin piece of cord into a thick piece of cord. True story.

PROMPT: Coincidence
I’ve had a few incidences having dreams (that seemed uncharacteristic) featuring people that I later found out had died that night or who contacted me out of the blue. I tend to dismiss it as selection bias, particularly as I remember so few dreams under ordinary circumstances.

PROMPT: Never Finished
Jame Joyce’s Ulysses. Beautiful language but damn near unreadable as a novel.
