Beautifully written. I definitely enjoy Patti Smith's writing. Solid pick and Seren-cat approved!

Yesterday was long. Traveling for work. 4 hour flight + 5 hour layover + 2 hour flight = lots of reading time. Finished my audiobook, an ARC, and started a reread of the tagged book, which is excellent. I love Patti Smith's writing.

lil1inblue I am obsessed with Patti Smith. Such a great writer...and artist...and musician. 2mo

I had expected to devour this book, instead I read it rather slowly, it took me months to get through the middle part. It was interesting, but perhaps there were too many names I was unfamiliar with, and several times I found myself putting the book down and looking for other things to read. That said, Smith painted a vivid picture of life in NY as an artist, and the final chapters were especially heartbreaking.

...or just open your eyes and look at the picture? 🙈

Joking aside about People's attempt at click-bait, I do like how many celebrity book clubs there are now. Seems like a great way to attract new readers. All that said, I've never actually participated in a celebrity book club - does anyone have a favorite they would recommend? I'm curious what the discussions are like.

DivineDiana I too like that there are more celebrities forming Book Clubs. Thank you Oprah for leading the way! I read one book for Caitriona Balfe‘s Book Club. There was an interesting online discussion. Disappointed that she did not participate. There were a few facilitators. Book tagged. (edited) 9mo
Billypar @DivineDiana Yeah, I doubt that any celebrity will come anywhere close to the institution that is Oprah's Bookclub. I've never seen Outlander so this one was not on my radar but it sounds pretty good! I never thought about there being facilitators. Not as exciting as the celebrity host taking part but still better than nothing. 9mo

Graywacke She chose a terrific book. Also, I‘m intrigued that celebrity book clubs are a thing. 9mo
Ruthiella I actually shy away from Oprah picks because she seems to really enjoy depressingly sad stories. 😂 9mo
tpixie @Ruthiella yes! I agree!!! 9mo
tpixie @Graciouswarriorprincess reads Reece Witherspoon‘s books 9mo
Billypar @Graywacke Yeah, it's an interesting choice given how different Patti Smith is from Dua Lipa. I wonder whether she was a fan going in. It would be fun to see more musical celebrities with book clubs for their perspective on other musicians' memoirs. 9mo
Billypar @Ruthiella I never thought about that - I only really know the books I've read that are Oprah picks, but yeah, I think they have fit that description 🤔 9mo
Billypar @tpixie Of all of the clubs, it seems to me that hers has the most devoted following. I'd like to try it at some point. 9mo

Posting a picture just because I can now! Litsy is a pretty lonely place without accompanying images. My mom sent this photo to me recently: my nephew and I reading on a hammock during our yearly family camping trip, taken years ago. Such a good memory. #TheGreatBlackoutof2023

BarbaraBB Fab photo! It makes Litsy so much better 🤍 9mo
