#Movie2BookRecs #juliaroberts 10. I haven‘t seen this movie but thought of all my choices, this one was the best option. But if you like Philip Seymour Hoffmann, Nobody‘s Fool, book and movie is great!

Klou Good job! 3y

TheBookHippie @marleed I did it for a research project years ago and I‘m so excited to read this book! 4y
marleed @TheBookHippie I‘m finding that I‘m enjoying reading some NF history written several years back because they aren‘t tainted with current politics. And because they didn‘t have vision into current politics, it makes for a fascinating comparison. 4y
TheBookHippie @marleed I agree I have read several Churchill books that are just amazing. 4y
