Read Everything! Read Just To Read! Read For Fun!
Frankenstein Jr. The Menace Of The Heartless Monster.
A Whitman Big Little Book.
I have a small stack of these from my childhood cuz my mom kept everything!
Inspired by a BlueSky post this morning of Franky Jr.

I will probably get yelled at for not following the #junesploitation schedule but I can barely manage my own life.
Watched Demons directed by Lamberto Bava today.
I dug it!
Watched a beautiful print on Arrow Player.
Watched it because it showed up a lot on my time line
Here's a better pic of the cover.
Reading: Cotton Comes To Harlem in my awesome Everyman's Library edition.
(My 3rd Chester Himes after Rage In Harlem and Real Cool Killers)

Can't believe this happened. Paul Giamatti ends up on one of my favorite pulp paperback YouTube shows.
Giamatti's knowledge of the history of mass market genre/pulp paperbacks is insane!
The interview is a window into an age when men were voracious readers.

Something about me:
This year I put my owned/unread books on a spin app. I let it choose my next read.
Taking a break from Monte Cristo.
Gonna spin the wheel this morning for my next read.

The movie version of Trick Baby by Iceberg Slim showed up on my #junesploitation feed this week.
The movie takes one part of the book and creates a movie around it.
The book is larger in scope. The story bigger and more involved in showing the entirety of a person.

Last night I saw Edgar G. Ulmer's THE NAKED DAWN (1955) at MoMA in an almost pristine Technicolor print; unbelievably gorgeous. You'll never see it looking better and you have one more chance, Sunday June 28 at 4 pm. www.moma.org/calendar/eve...
