I've been to a few. They still have really impressive feats of human skill. The one that had animals in it had the animals very rarely and seemed to be taking better care of them (I think some horses trotted in a coordinated pattern and an elephant came holding/wearing a banner, then left).

I'd be interested in seeing how they handle holograms. Circuses seem to try to push visuals and entertainment. They might come up with some really creative new ways to show off.

My strategy when I haven't read a book in a while is to go back to nostalgia. It's more important to develop the habit of reading than what you read.

I suggest going back and reading books from your childhood. Books that you loved. (For me, it's discworld.) You can now go back with an adult eye and you'll automatically analyze them a bit more than you did before. You can start there.

Once you're back in the habit, you can try other books from the same author, similar authors, or maybe you can switch genres and read more about something in the setting. You don't have to treat reading like a punishment or a chore. Find stuff you enjoy and try it. It's not bad to try a new book and give up after two chapters. Dip your toes into all kinds of water and find what you like.

I like it! Interesting take on the character. I do think his head is a little bit too small on the full body pose with his foot sticking out. I think that might be throwing off his body proportions a little bit.

But I really like where this design is going. I'd be interested to see how the rest of the Scooby crew comes out looking with this redesign.

Man I was right there with you. I was really excited by the idea of a PB&J pizza, maybe like a dessert pizza or something? I clicked for the inspiration, thought I got trolled, then realized what it was and wished it was something else.

A thai peanut sauce, some fruit to be the "jelly," a milder flavored protein like chicken...that sounds best. Maybe you could use sweet chili sauce as a finish for the jelly. I like thai chicken pizza with cilantro, and now I just want some chicken, peppers, maybe pineapple...yeah. That sounds good. Off to make a grocery list.
