Rapid Eye Electronics Ltd. (REEL)

@rapideyeelectro.bsky.social

REEL formed when three refugees from The Psychedelic Duelling Wars congealed in the psychic wreckage of a Somerset studio to record Wild Garlick electronics, eschatological ambience & brown acid techno on adapted bits of farm machinery & petrol cans

Liked Romeo and Juliet but couldn’t get on with Lorna Doone, Under Milk Wood was cool, as was Lord of the Flies and Of Mice and Men. Didn’t like The Old Man & The Sea but To Kill A Mockingbird was great. Couldn’t get on with Twelfth Night but liked Hamlet & Journey’s End. UK

US and UK friends, I'm curious: What books were part of your required reading for highschool literature class? Which of them do you remember loving, and which did you loathe?

in 1970, 10-year-old Joel Lipton had a class assignment to write to someone he admired and ask them "What makes a good citizen?" He wrote to Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz. He got back this letter:

A letter on Charles M. Chulz's stationery with a drawing of Charlie Brown, Snoopy on his doghouse, and a fallen kite:
I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen then it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call ‘American Virtues’ who lack this faith in our country. I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities. Sincerely yours, Charles M. Schulz.
