5 Stars • In The Man Who Fell to Earth by Walter Tevis (1963), Thomas Jerome Newton, an alien from drought-ravaged Anthea, comes to Earth to build a spacecraft to save his people. Using advanced technology, he amasses wealth but struggles with isolation, alcoholism, and human corruption. His chemist friend Bryce uncovers his alien identity, and government scrutiny leads to his detention and failed mission. ⬇️

suvata Blinded and broken, Newton abandons hope, recording a melancholic album, The Visitor, as he fades into obscurity.

4-27-21: My 42nd finished book of 2021! Beth Harmon becomes an orphan after her mother dies in a car crash. While at the orphanage she learns to play chess from the janitor. The trajectory of her life from that point forward is astounding. The novel is good but the show on Netflix is amazing. It stays true to the book only changing the order of some of the scenes. Highly recommend the show. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍🏼📖#️⃣4️⃣2️⃣ #thegueensgambit #waltertevis

JudeCC @Lifeisasnap Thank you! She is, but she's our guard dog. She protects us a LOT! Too much I would say, lol! None of them like photos, so she moved as soon as I had the phone ready to snap the pic. 😂 5y
LinesUponAPage @WJCintron guarding is good, unless they get growly. Lol only Lucky will sit still long enough to use as a prop. 😂 5y

Currently reading! I binge watched the series! It was fantastic! Great actors, set dressing, wardrobe, and the direction was mesmerizing! So far I‘m loving the book and I‘m happy to see they were pretty true to it so far!
