Such a wonderful book! I think I want to pick it for my book club.
Yes, it’s definitely one of my favorites. I found it years ago prowling the aisles of my university library, picking up books at random instead of going to class. I love books that truly take you into a different time and place, and that one truly does.
So glad to find someone else who adores this book. Was just about to give this exact explanation.
From Fatima to Malala. They know the only cure for all that ails our planet is education - for all.
I choked on my coffee at “human corgi”. I feel ya, my stubby legged friend.
My best friend has legs similar to that. I had to stop standing next to her in yoga class because it kept distracting me that next to her I look like the human version of a corgi.
Eloquence? I don’t think I’ve ever heard Melania Trump speak.
A couple of thoughts on this whole hidden chambers in the tomb of Tutankhamun thing. The tl;dr: this is really exciting and potentially really important, but we need to go carefully. As you were.
Oh no...I sat through hours of bullshit to find dirt and a coupe old coke bottles in “Al Capone’s vault”, what thirty years ago? Bring me the treasure first, then I’ll watch the TV special after the fact.
I think we should get Geraldo Rivera to televise, live, the opening. (Only the olds here will get this reference.)
Bleh. I watched this recently - the woman who plays Natalie isn’t fat!! So all the fat jokes are really odd, so is the way Hugh Grant pretends to struggle under her weight when he picks her up at the end of the film. The Colin storyline was odd too - gawky Brit just waltzes off to America and it’s his own private porn…
Wait someone stole your car and took it in a joy ride while you were seeing this movie in the theater?
I’m with you. I truly believe that Thompson’s scene in the bedroom is among the great pieces of acting ever put on film. Total heartbreak, immediate and devastating, survived.
I now know it, and now feel deep shame on your behalf.
I will give you some money towards this endeavor. Not a lot. But some.
Willing to pay the first person that get that tattooed on their body. Not a lot of money, but some money.
Well, I mean, technically he is correct — no one ever asked Obama or Clinton why they lied about meeting Gen Westmoreland or pretended to stab a guy or invented stickup or created an imaginary Most Honest Student award at Yale that makes so sense. So they’ve never faced exactly the kind of scrutiny that Carson has.
I think I need to wait until noon to Kinja. These spelling mistakes are ruining the otherwise pristine professional aura I try to put out into the Kinja world.
