This wry take on Kafka's novel The Trial revolves around its narrator's attempts to petition successfully the elusive ruling body of his country, known simply as "the Committee." Consequences for his actions range from the absurd to the hideous.
Ibrahim offers an unbroken first-person narrative rendered in brief, crisp prose framed by a conspicuous absence of vivid imagery. Furthermore, the petitioner is a man without identity. The ideal antihero, he remains, as does his country, unnamed throughout the intricate plot with a locale suggestive of 1970s Cairo. The Committee pierces the inflammatory terrain between ordinary men, unbridled displays of power, and other broader concerns of the author's native Egypt. The novel's corrosive, shocking conclusion catapults satiric surrealism into a new realm.Binding Type: Hardcover

A Favorite All-Time Classic
I've always enjoyed this classic film. Ava Gardner is my favorite all-time actress. She's great in the role of Kitty. Burt Lancaster is also fine as the torn man in love with a woman he struggles to have. This is based on one of Hemingway's short stories, and they did a fine job. Same with the remake in 1964 with Lee Marvin and Clu Gulagher. You will not be disappointed in either version, but my favorite is the orignal.

1 Ernest Hemingway story, 2 different movie takes, very cool.
I like value. Two movie versions of a cool story for the price of one, I am in.
The Burt Lancaster version is film noir cool, while the Lee Marvin has that manic 60’s television feel. The Lee Marvin version gets bonus for Ronald Reagan’s portrayal of the heavy. He is quite menacing.

Overnight Magic in a Jar – Silky Hydration for Glass Skin
Color: Rice Probiotics (Barrier Jelly)
I’ve been using the Abib Rice Probiotics Overnight Mask Barrier Jelly for a couple of weeks now, and it has quickly earned a permanent spot in my skincare routine. It combines a clean, lightweight gel with deeply nourishing benefits—perfect if you're chasing that "glass skin" glow without heaviness.
Right out of the jar, the texture feels like a cross between a jelly and a balm. It glides on cool and soothing, absorbs within a minute, and leaves a glossy, hydrated finish that still feels breathable. It’s not greasy at all—just a gentle shimmer of hydration that makes your skin feel pampered, not overloaded.
Overnight, the formula truly does its work. In the mornings, I wake up to skin that looks softer, plumper, and noticeably clearer around the cheeks and chin. It helps lock in moisture so well that my skin stays balanced throughout the next day—no midday dryness or tightness, even when I use drying actives like retinol or vitamin C.
What really stands out is how bright and even my complexion looks. Fine, subtle dryness around my nose and mouth has disappeared, and my pores appear less obvious. The lightweight probiotic-rich formula feels soothing without burdening sensitive or acne-prone skin.
I also appreciate how well it layers in. I often apply it after serum or toner and then follow with SPF or a light moisturizer in the morning. My base products glide on beautifully over it—no pilling, no tacky residue, just glide and glow.
If you have dry, combination, or sensitive skin and want a glow-inducing overnight booster that isn’t heavy or pore-clogging, this gel mask is a dream. It provides the deep moisture of a sleeping mask but feels light and refreshing. A little goes a long way, and I’m already halfway through the jar—I’ll definitely be buying more.
