I just started it and am having a hard time putting it down - what an incredible and tragic story. All the praise for this autobiography is so well deserved - it's very moving and so beautifully written.

Donald Jack, It's Me Again.

 

[John in Covina]

"Watching Baseball Smarter" by Zack Hample Great book for explaining some of the mysteries of baseball. I still have a hard time with balks.

 

[Sleuth]

Just finished "The Moonstone" by Wilkie Collins. It was interesting; definately written in a different era.

I thought that "The Moonstone" had great atmosphere and a good "feel" to it. A great "rainy day" book.

once again reading The Encyclopedia of Bad Taste: A Celebration of American Pop Culture at Its Most Joyfully Outrageous by Jane & Michael Stern.

I am just now reading Gone with the Wind, by Margaret Mitchell.

I have to say that I am not schocked at the amount of material they left out for the movie, and yet some of it would add so much to the film and the characters I cannot see how they would have put it to film.

I've always thought the same thing, but it's the best movie version of a book that I've seen personally, so I can't complain too much

A Brief History of Tea by Roy Moxham.

 

[LizzieMaine]

"America Through Women's Eyes," a 1934 collection edited by historian Mary R. Beard, compiling selections from first-hand accounts of American women's history from the seventeenth century to the 1930s. (Who says nobody paid attention to such things until the sixties?)

 

[V.C. Brunswick]

William Shakespeare's Richard III: A Screenplay Written by Ian McKellen & Richard Loncraine; Woodstock, NY: The Overlook Press, 1996

I just finished Cannery Row. Pretty good for a book that isn't about anything.

Just finished " the wettest county in the world".
Great read and I can't wait for the film in august.
