Fiction

It should just be either... don't agree with this but like yeah having like them well no I think having them by section is good like all the Star Wars here all the Batman all the but like it's just a mess and then I was in the like other sections It's just like within each section.

There's too much division That's my problem if you're in Fiction keep it to fiction there shouldn't be like fiction slash Mystery slash romance slash classics.

It's like oh you wanted that that's a classic and yeah and and then like business is like leadership and self-help is like wellness and eating healthy and like everything's divided but divided divided thinking that's helpful and it's it's not helpful because it's like It's too much.

Yeah,

I suppose there's a certain...

There's a certain expectation of...

Spaces where you can Put your opinions You know As long as they're not Hurting anybody Like we are talking about Fictional characters here There will be spaces Where you're like This is the Sam only club And no Dean's allowed And this is the Dean only club And no Sam's allowed And that's fine If you want to spend Your time in those spaces The cat knows We're wrapping up Because he just got up If you want to like You know That's absolutely fine But if you're If you're Going to write something And throw it out Into quote unquote Gen pop Be ready to have a conversation about it.

And if you're not ready to have a conversation about it, make that clear.

Because then I won't come at you with questions.

Where they were dispersed, bring them into a single source for public review.

In July 1994, we completed the first step in that effort and later published the Roswell Report, Fact vs. Fiction in the New Mexico Desert.

this volume represents the necessary follow on to that first publication and contains additional material and analysis i think that with this publication we have reached our goal of a complete and open explanation of the events that occurred in the southwest many years ago beyond that achievement this inquiry has shed fascinating light into the air force of that era and revitalized our appreciation for the dedication and accomplishments of the men and women of that time as we celebrate the air force's fiftieth anniversary it is appropriate to once again reflect on the sacrifices made by so many to make ours the finest air and space force in history sheila e widnall secretary of the air force guide for readers this publication contains the complete report as submitted to the secretary of the air force the exceptions are the statements found in due to privacy act restrictions and by request the addresses of the individuals making these statements have been deleted this volume is divided into two sections eight subsections eleven sidebar discussions and three appendices Section 1 examines alleged events at two locations in rural New Mexico.

Section 2 examines the alleged activities at the Roswell Army Airfield Hospital.

It's really great.

It's really, like, if you love Margaret Atwood, if you love Naomi Alderman, like, I think she's just, it's really good, like, science fiction, speculative fiction, but also, like, political in the way that's like really good and it's so well written and it's super fast paced that's why it worked really well I mean it's 384 pages I got through that in one day because it just like I couldn't put it down remember because I was trying to decide if I wanted to read between three different books I wanted to read and I started reading it and then I just finished it because I just was like I gotta know what happens in this story that's a

rare occurrence for Bria

It really is, and it's great.

Yeah, I haven't seen

anyone talking about it.

Yeah, totally worth checking out for people who love science fiction.
