Everyone Is Entitled to My Opinion
Everyone Is Entitled to My Opinion | David Brinkley
3 posts | 1 reading | 1 to read
From America's favorite television reporter--wise and hilarious commentaries on the always fragile human condition.In this one-of-a-kind book, we get the undiluted David Brinkley. He marvels at government regulations that require paint cans to bear a label reading "Do not drink paint." He reminisces about a White House that once welcomed casual picnickers on its lawn. He observes that "if we can put a man on the moon, we could put Congress in orbit." He skewers lawyers, bureaucrats, Washington insiders, hypocrites of all stripes. He commemorates absurdity--and hence suffers fools gladly. This collection is Brinkley at his unbeatable best.

My opinion only - I don‘t think people should “bash” an author. I don‘t see people do it here , but I have had people say “ so and so is a horrible author” or “ that‘s a terrible” book. Some like some books, others don‘t. It‘s all personal. But I think all reading is wonderful....no matter who and what you read. #BookishUnpopularOpinion

Thank you @shadowspeak17 for your wonderful giveaway. My 3 books of choice- The Institute, Inland, Poet X

Melismatic Agree! I think it‘s better to think a book isn‘t for you...or isn‘t for you right now. It‘s all subjective. 4y
AmyG Bonus: I disliked: Bel Canto (though I have liked some of her other books). I liked Eat, Pray, Love...though I know many who didn‘t. And...I shall tag @Soubhiville (check out @shadowspeak17 page for how to enter. 4y
Soubhiville Thanks for the tag Amy! And I agree- just because I don‘t like a book doesn‘t make it bad. 4y
shadowspeak17 I agree. It bothers me when someone tells me a book or author I like is bad like it‘s just a fact or something because, well, it‘s not a fact. It‘s totally subjective. I don‘t want to make anyone feel bad about what they read even if what they read is 100% not my thing.

Bel Canto‘s on my TBR. I guess time will tell if I end up in the unpopular opinion camp with you. 😬
Thanks for entering!

AmyG @shadowspeak17 Let me know about Bel Canto. And thank YOU. 4y

1. Red Queen-derivative, boring, &poorly written. I hate Percy Jackson
2. Uh
3. I haven't finished the series so I don't know how it ends but I want Sookie to stay w/ Eric, not Bill.
4. Whodunnit/mystery
5. Every character in The Magicians esp Alice&Quentin
6. Elizabeth Gilbert-Nicolas Sparks-Jodi Picoult
7. Money/wealth as a plot device
8. Divergent
9. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy-had a hard time getting through the book

EchoLogical Red Queen?! I love that series! 7y
heikemarie @EchoLogical the Aveyard series right? I thought the world building was weak, the character development shallow, and the plot unforgivably derivative. But hey wouldn't call it an unpopular opinion if lots of folks didn't disagree so you are in far better company 😂 7y
Elisa I absolutely agree about The Red Queen! 7y
Sweettartlaura Team Eric❤️😈. Sooo much better than Bill! 7y

Today, the book gods are smiling down on me.
I have a habit of going to bookstores and buying up all the .25 cent books they have in their crates, usually for no other reason then taking pleasure in seeing them in my home. Today, as I was searching for my current read #flatearthnews, I run across this jewel I unknowingly picked up who happens to be written by one of my professional heroes. Needless to say I couldn't help but open it up.
