All Quiet on the Western Front | Erich Maria Remarque

I have not seen the adaptation, nor is this technically a song selection for #tuesdaytunes but rather a post to encourage you to read this incredible portrait of what warfare is really like. I think that it's very unfair to cast it as anti-war, as it is a realistic portrait of WWI trench warfare told in prose so evocative that it could have been published today. Magnificent!
PS-if you need a smile then watch the independent YouTube video (Cont)

vivastory of Obama surprising a plane full of veterans today, many Vietnam vets and this is literally their first time meeting a president....

*Without a doubt the tagged book is going on my favorites of the year

Daisey This is such a great book, but I haven‘t made time to watch this adaptation yet. I also strongly recommend this WWI memoir of a German soldier: 2d
vivastory @Daisey Yes! I did read Storm of Steel. I felt like the movie 1917 (last movie I saw before theaters closed due to COVID) felt very influenced by Storm of Steel. There did seem to be a bit more bluster & patriotism lurking beneath SOS than All Quiet IMO, although I do recommend both. Storm is definitely one that doesn't get enough attention, for sure 2d

Leftcoastzen One of my all time favorite books 2d
TheBookHippie Just sobbed watching the Obama video. When I was “little” they spat at returning kids aka veterans (19,29,21) horrific. I agree about tagged book. 2d
JenP Wonderful book 2d

It's been cloudy today and is supposed to finally be in the 60s by the end of the week for a HIGH! I'm pretending it's chilly right now and am (seriously) listening to blizzard sounds. It's quite relaxing and is helping to put me in a fall spirit.

AmyG Oooo I am going to try that….blizzard sounds. 2d
dabbe @AmyG I love it! 🖤🤍🩶 2d

Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of the mysterious sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald in Lake Superior (one of the great lakes) Gordon Lightfoot has a great folk song about the sinking (The Wreck of Edmund Fitzgerald) and the tagged is on my TBR to read more about this mystery. Here is a short article about the basics:

RosePressedPages I can‘t listen to The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald without crying 😅 2d
Bookwormjillk I'm reading this now. It's pretty good. 2d

Happy Veterans Day. Here's hoping that someday our veterans get the support they deserve and the care they need after they return home, beyond a free coffee one day a year.

I gotta love myself some Fizzarolli and this is my favorite song from season two.
Lyrics NSFW (but yeah, it's Helluva Boss*)

*Helluva Boss is a very queer cartoon series for grown-ups.

TieDyeDude Nice! We tried watching Hazbin Hotel, but it wasn't quite what we were expecting (very busy and hectic). I'm interested in giving it another shot, but my wife said she's good. I'll have to keep this spin-off in mind. 3d
Jari-chan Busy and hectic is a very good description 😁 Helluva Boss is also pretty fast paced, but it is different than HH. 3d

Now, November leaves,
Autumn's cooper-costume leaves -
Melancholy leaves ?
