Amidst all the chaos of the last few weeks, I only finished 2 books. Here they are:
"The Way We Were" by Arthur Laurents
I was mildly interested in the movie, but never saw it. I liked the theme song, though. I don't remember where I found the paperback of the book the movie was based on, but thought it might be interesting. I really struggled to get through this one. I found it depressing. I thought both main characters were jerks in their relationship to each other. Counseling might've helped...
The only good thing was being able to picture the whole thing with Redford and Streisand in mind, so it was kinda like watching the movie. Have no idea how closely the movie followed the book. Don't care.
"I See By My Outfit" by Peter S. Beagle
This one was a delight. I've always loved the fantasy novels of Beagle, and found this book at some sale. It's an account of his trip from New York to San Francisco with his friend, artist Phil Sigunick. It took place in the 60's when both were in their early 20's. They each had motor scooters that had their own little quirks.
The book was a neat little window into a time long gone and an America that no longer exists.

I love this..."I ONLY finished 2 books" LOL I wish I were so disciplined to read more. That's def. something I want to work on. I don't 'do' new years resolutions but at the beginning of every year, I think to myself, I should read more this year!
ReplyDeleteDot, thanks for commenting on my blog. I can't believe you'd care to read it from the beginning!!! I haven't even done that, I have no idea what you will find. I've done alot of paid blogging over the years...most of that I have gotten rid of. You will find some text link ads here and there. This blog, BeccA's Buzz, is mostly an eclectic pool of this and that. You might also enjoy my other blog, The Wrong Side of the Clouds. That is way more personal and spiritual...I don't broadcast that blog as it is meant to be for me to share. It's not the kind of blog a huge audience could find themselves getting interested. But for some who enjoy that kind of thing, you might like it! There should be a link in the blog roll in the left sidebar. :) Thanks for visiting my blog!!
Ps. Where did you find it?
