Go Clint go. Reading isn't my thing as I explained the reasons why in an earlier post on an earlier post of yours in a similar vibe. I still shudder at the let down of that particular book and I don't ever want to go through that trauma again. My loss? probably, but that's life. Cheers DougT 🇫🇴

Different strokes, different folks, boo. I was lucky my dad didn’t “force” me to read. But he encouraged me. So now…I read a page or three a day as a bit of ritual. My attention span isn’t big enough for much more. lol

Let's just say that book was 'The Front Runner' written by Patricia Nell Warren (supposedly not a Ghost writer)

Never read it, but the little I've heard about it make it sound like a tearjerker. Gay romance written by a woman though? Nah. I'll pass. I don't need a book to make me cry...though not mad if one does.

I'm more apt to read a humorous essay/memoir. David Sedaris is a personal fave. "Me Talk Pretty One Day" remains one that always turn a frown upside down.

It's not a tear jerker, just has a rather BANG point that robbed me of time, emotion, sanity even. I personally still maintain she was ghosting it for a bloke. End of.

I'm sorry, Doug. Sounds like a bad trip...hate books like that.
