Pure Innocent Fun: Essays | Ira Madison, III

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Channeling Chuck Klosterman; a compliment! I love these kind of funny, pop-culture focused, personal essays. Bonus that I‘m familiar with many of his Milwaukee references from the time we lived there. The perfect palate-cleanser. A fun read!

TrishB Yeah, I‘ve never been near the Lincoln Tunnel and am not even on the same continent- but it put me off. 5mo

TieDyeDude Iconic scene. Such a mindscrew! They handled it really well in the comic adaptation, too. 5mo

Fridays | Andrew Johns

#5joysfriday it‘s been a glorious week of nothing much thanks to March Break. 1. I finished Mona and hung her in my bedroom ( a little gallery wall moment is happening) 2. John and I went out to dinner Wednesday to a new place in the ‘hood ( no pics) and breakfast on Thursday to an old place 3. I had a massage, got my haircut and my nails done and walked to a McDonald‘s for a fountain Diet Coke because I could 4. It was 11° C yesterday

AmyG Mona Lisa looks great! 5mo

mcctrish so I dragged the lounger onto to the deck to read on ( today it‘s going to 18° ?) 5. So much reading time is happening - on my kindle, audio and print #livingmybestlife laughing out loud with #hashtagbrigade daily makes my life “dead ladies can‘t do crimes” #iykyk ???????? 5mo

mcctrish @AmyG I am so happy with her 5mo

willaful Could you take me off the tag list please? I'd really like to read it with you but I just don't seem to be doing it. :-( 5mo

BarkingMadRead @willaful absolutely 5mo

ElizaMarie Percy is lower than a dog! That doggie not liking him is a #RedFlag and just #AlllTheMoney IF she dies? Hmm... are we setting up for some future murder? Or is my mind just dark/gutter? And -- Why does she have to marry #RightBefore she is of age? Like if she was of age, would she have been able to make the will work? 5mo

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie that‘s exactly what I thought! He‘s twice her age, obviously he will be the first to go, unless…. 5mo

mcctrish The fact he wants to marry her before she‘s 21 is a red flag! Wait 3 months and she can do her own will without that stupid #unclesmellingsalts having any say! Also Aunt Eleanor and her Count were giving me brief Udolpho vibes #iykyk 🤣🤣 she needs to put Marian in a legal document #percypig is going to run her out of town aka #lockherup 5mo

Bklover @mcctrish Next thing you know Marian will suddenly be in an asylum. Soon following will be Laura. #percypigisanass 5mo

mcctrish @Bklover #thewritingisonthewall 5mo

Bookwormjillk I felt like Uncle Crabby in his room yesterday. Every time I tried to read this section someone would talk to me. My nerves! All caught up now and you all said what I was thinking. I‘m loving reading about the same events from different points of view. 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly I appreciate how Collins drums in that Percy is a jerk and not to be trusted. As though we didn‘t all hate him already, the dog can‘t stand him. Dogs know! Do you think Collins was getting paid by the word like Dickens? That last section was a whole lot of words to say “he gets all her money if she dies first” 😂 And even if he doesn‘t have nefarious plans… this book is still in a high maternal mortality era. 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish Udolpho vibes yes 😂 5mo

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly I love our ‘inside vibes‘ connections #bestgroupever #trustthedog 5mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly 💯 Gilmore was like, let me just explain this last bit real quick, and then it took like 5 pages. Sir. 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly I forgot to mention, I have serious doubts that uneducated Mrs. Catherick really wrote that “yeah Percy is cool with me” letter. 😒 I wish we were reading this more slowly—so much happens in each day‘s section that I can‘t remember it all, let alone have time to discuss it! 5mo

julieclair Whew! Lots going on 5mo

julieclair #trustthedog for sure. And what's with #unclesmellingsalts allowing this ridiculous inheritance business? 5mo

Leftcoastzen Always #trustthedog could Gilmore make it any more obvious to #unclesmellingsalts ? Lost in his own little world to the perils of his family 5mo

willaful Man, what a depressing chapter. I hope Esther is going to get some help but I kind of doubt it. :-\ 6mo

BarkingMadRead @willaful I‘m worried that she will think she doesn‘t need it 6mo

Deblovestoread Mrs. Kravitz! 6mo

Clare-Dragonfly @BarkingMadRead Same! Or that the shrink will be terrible… 6mo

Bookwormjillk I‘m with you all hoping she gets the help she needs. 6mo

tpixie @Deblovestoread 😝 @BarkingMadRead Mrs Kravitz!!! 🧙 I LOVED Bewitched 6mo

willaful @Clare-Dragonfly I think it's almost guaranteed that the shrink will be terrible. 😞 6mo

Deblovestoread I loved Bewitched, too! @tpixie I was glad the family doc didn‘t just throw more pills at her. Hopefully her referral is a good one! 6mo

dabbe Esther has never had anything below an “A“ in her life. She wins contests, too. Not getting into the summer class was her complete undoing. I'm almost scared now to read more.

BTW, do they live in a house in Boston? If so, why do the mom and Esther share the same bedroom? Or am I wrong in that assumption? 6mo

TheAromaofBooks Waaaaaayy too casual about eating raw hamburger + raw egg 😂 6mo

ElizaMarie Buddy !!! #RunForYourLifeNurse !! Hopefully he doesn't seduce that poor nurse who he “falls in love“ with. I mean. poor girl to be sucked into him! I am #proud Ester put her foot down with that one! 6mo

julieclair @mcctrish Maybe the Lark Rose vibe was why Esther got on my last nerve in this chapter! 😂. But then I reached the end of the chapter and felt guilty about her getting on my nerves. She does need someone who can help her. I do hope the psychiatrist turns out to be a good one. But I'm fearful 5mo

I watched this movie last week (Tom Hanks, #iykyk) & cried as hard as I've cried at a movie in some time. I didn't know it was based on a graphic novel until the credits rolled, & I immediately ordered it. The premise is brilliant - the "camera" stays in one place for the entirety, as we jump back & forth through time, often with multiple years in different, overlapping panes on the same page. Almost no words. So good.
