why settle for mediocre

TAGS: None

The Scout Report today had a link to this interesting web site, Lists of Bests. It a list of “best of …” lists, like the AFI top 100 films, Pulitzer Prize Winners for Fiction, etc.. Good stuff and neatly all in one place.

Although these lists are subjective or contain the results of subjective judging, I like to see what knowledgeable people liked rather than just diving in randomly. If I want to see a good old movie, why not start with one from the AFI list? Then if I like it I can check out something else starring the same actor or director.

On an unrelated note, my grade school alum Spinning-Jennie has a wish list for her grade school library posted on Amazon. Send them a book, you’ll feel good about yourself.

    Thanks for the mention! Every bit helps right now, for sure. It looks like I’ve got three more books on the way just today, hoorah!
