Welcome to Litsy!

It is very rare that I cry while reading, however I do distinctly recall crying while reading the tagged book last November. More recently, I do believe I teared up while reading Liz Moore's Long Bright River.

Up next for book club, and my current read. #FirstSaturdayReaders

Not entirely sure how I feel with this one. It wasn‘t what I had in mind, but it was good nonetheless. It got to be a bit repetitive at times for me and so it didn‘t have me all hooked. Either way, the plot was interesting and I enjoyed it.

Blacklisted actor Paul Robeson summed it up best in a letter he wrote to Charlie: "...fascists everywhere hated you for your anti-Nazi film, The Great Dictator. Well, Hitler and his gang are gone, but Chaplin and his art lives on! And your name will be honored --yes, here in America, too --long after McCarthy and his kind are buried in oblivion.".

Indeed.

It was intrinsically absurd...until Donald Trump.

It‘s a biography so obviously she dies in the end but it kind of destroys me how she had this major complex of always putting on a persona and being either a movie star or a wife even long after she retired and her first husband had died.
