A misguided attempt to bring to life Dali's misguided attempt at a Marx Brothers' movie scenario. Weak writing on the Groucho/Chico bits, artwork that lacks Dali's craftsmanship, and a "Harpo" character who behaves NOTHING like Harpo. The lyrics of the original songs are pretty good, and the documentary material is interesting.

It's not a hard and fast rule, but I read mostly non-fiction. In an attempt to unclutter my bookshelves, I re-read a lot of books I own in 2023, intending to cull the collection and donate a lot of books to Little Free Libraries; it didn't work... and I bought more books.
In 2024, I seem to be reading a lot of graphic biographies and just plain old comic books.
Theme parks. World's Fairs. Miniature buildings. Stereoscopy. Science and science history. History and non-fiction. How-to and maker books, and the occasional "For Dummies" book if I want to learn a specific skill. Sometimes, I scroll through the "Random" feature of Project Gutenberg for unusual e-books.
