Pickpick

Part true crime, part biography, part critical study. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald not only lived a fascinating, albeit tragic life, but the world in which they lived was rendered perfectly by Churchwell. I loved the inclusion of photographs and newspaper clippings. My one regret is that it‘s been 15+ years since I read Gatsby. I need a reread. #carryonmywaywardson #marchintothe70s

Cinfhen This sounds really interesting especially since our bookclub recently read 5y

How could it not be Supernatural for me. Every finale opens with this song.

(Day 28 - #CarryOnMyWaywardSon)

*This song by Kansas made me thing think of the struggle David Sheff and his son, Nic, went through with Nic‘s problems with addiction. The tagged book was made into a movie, starring Steve Carell and Timothée Chalamet. Four more books were written by father and son which deal with the same or similar topics. Nic was definitely a wayward son, but he managed to go home again in the end.

Cinfhen I‘ve heard book & movie are both really beautifully done ❤️ 5y
gradcat @Cinfhen I haven‘t seen the movie, but Chalamet was up for so many awards (though I don‘t think he won many of them, he had plenty of nominations), so I think it was probably very well done. And I hope you have a wonderful day! 😉 5y

#MarchIntoThe70s #Day28 ##CarryOnMyWaywardSon This Song has always reminded me of Roland Deschain in his never ending battle against The Man In Black. A man that has lost everything to this including his whole world & everyone he knew & then must relearn to be with others when his ka-tet arrives. I see him as a Sean Penn type figure, wrinkled clothes,dusty boots & hat with a heavy gun belt & wearing his suffering on his face. Carry on wayward son.

Cinfhen Yes, I always got a Western vibe from this song 5y
gradcat You don‘t see him as an Idris Elba type? 🤔 5y
Lizpixie @Cinfhen yes! Can‘t you see the wind blowing dust, the squint in his eyes, the creak of his gun belt? @gradcat not at all. I first read this at 15 & Stephen Kings description of Roland is more like what I‘ve seen in my mind for over 30yrs. 5y
gradcat I didn‘t see the movie with Elba & McConaughey, so I personally can‘t say whether they did a good job, but the movie did not do very well.... 5y

#MarchIntoThe70s #CarryOnMyWaywardSon I‘m in Waterstones & I havnt read this one ... but the title kind of fits .... oh & @TrishB - thought of you when I saw there are 1500 pages in this one 👍🏻

Cinfhen Are u serious?????? 1500 pages .....#HardPass and #MinorPanicAttack #PageCountPhobia 😬😱😰 5y
squirrelbrain That‘s the book that‘s been on my TBR shelf the longest @Cinfhen ! It‘s size is rather off-putting... 😬 5y
tpixie Apparently the author didn‘t have an editor? Or how long was it before editing?? 😆😂🤣🤪 5y

MicheleinPhilly A friend of mine just received this from someone as a gift and she was like, “When the hell do you think I‘ll have time to read this???” 5y
Cathythoughts @Cinfhen it would want to be very good 👍🏻... at that length I‘d need to be on a desert island for a spell 😳 5y
Cathythoughts @squirrelbrain it‘s sooo long 🤭.... OMG 5y
Cathythoughts @tpixie oh man !! 😂 5y
Bklover Ummmm....I don‘t think so. 😳😳😳 5y
batsy It's brilliant! Massive, but so good... You won't notice the pages 😉😁 5y
TrishB It‘s a really good read 😁😁 I preferred An Equal Music, but this was good too. Did take me about a week though! 5y
TrishB @batsy definitely! 5y
Cathythoughts @TrishB @batsy I wouldn‘t doubt you Trish or Suba ... ye have it read !! Fair play 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 5y
Cathythoughts @MicheleinPhilly your friend asks a legitimate question for sure 👍🏻... when 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5y
Cathythoughts @Bklover me neither .... although we have 2 good Littens saying it‘s brilliant!! Oh no 🤦🏻‍♀️... why did I ever take that picture In Waterstones (edited) 5y
Bklover @Cathythoughts I know what you mean. This is how I end up with a zillion books on my shelf waiting for me. I keep thinking someday.... 5y
Tamra I too read good things about it, but I think at that size it‘s better for kindle! 💪🏾 5y
Cathythoughts @Tamra good point 👍🏻. Although..... if I actually read it , I would like a hard copy on my shelf , so I could casually say “ oh yeah.. I‘ve read that one “ ...... except I doubt that will ever happen 😳😂😂 5y
Tamra @Cathythoughts better get both! 😜 5y
Cathythoughts @tamra 👍🏻😂 5y
LeahBergen I‘ll chime in with @batsy and @TrishB - it‘s really good! 👍🏻 5y
writerlibrarian Massive but so so so good. It's also well designed chapters and parts wise. Took me about 3 weeks on and off. I loved it. It didn't feel massive at all. 5y
erzascarletbookgasm Wow, a real chunkster! 😧 I wonder how long it would take me to finish reading. 5y
Cathythoughts @LeahBergen @writerlibrarian it does sound excellent 👍🏻♥️ 5y
Cathythoughts @erzascarletbookgasm are you thinking about it Jessie ?! It‘s just so long 😳 5y
Reggie It‘s soooo good. Yes 1500 pages but so much happens and I was never bored. 5y
BiblioLitten I couldn‘t finish it because my exams came up. I hope to pick it up in the future. 5y
