Hi!
I’ve been looking for a book that touches on life in America during the Vietnam war. The protest movement, pentagon papers, rock and roll. Impartial to fiction or non-fiction.

I’d like to learn more about this time in American history, but also not looking for something super dry or anything that reads like a text book.

I can’t seem to find the right book after googling around, are there any recommendations?

Thanks!

In Knoxville, TN for a day. Recs for one bottle you'll absolutely suggest? Also the name of the store where I can get that, would be great too! Thank you!

I was recently in Spain and my Spanish is native as well as my English, but I had the opportunity to attend the musical of the Lion King. I had already seen it in English and wanted to try it in Spanish, and although it is the same music the language change felt like total madness. Is this normal?

Hey all! Need a couple book recs for an upcoming beach trip.

Looking for a great non-fiction, relating to travel or world history (not just one moment in time). Could also be about the marketing world or memoirs of a business leader kinda thing.

Fiction wise I also like fantasy, paranormal, and romance. Some fave book series are the Black Gryphon from Mercedes Lackey, Game of Thrones, and From Jamaica Lane series. Similar books?

Any recommendations on getting into wine? I love other specialty beverages (3rd wave coffee, craft beer), but struggle to “figure out” wine.

The ability to get involved with local beer and coffee producers has been a huge factor for me, so I’m guessing the comparative lack of local wine producers has contributed to me struggling to understand more of the process, culture, tasting notes, etc.

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not. This leads me to be extremely skeptical of others’ intentions, and makes me less confident that I can influence others, and in general really erodes my self-confidence. Does anyone else feel similarly? If so, how have you dealt with it?

Hi everyone. Is it typical for the attorney to take credit for the work a paralegal does? An example: I gave some ideas about deposition questions and some observations I made (I was asked about giving suggestions) regarding a witness and the attorney mentioned that he’s the one that had these great questions/observations. Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.

Are there any other Coasties here?
