But Enough About Me

pick

I enjoyed many of Burt Reynolds movies and think he had the best laugh ever. This is more a collection of impressions about people he knew than a true memoir. It meanders even within a chapter. I was surprised with some of the revelations and did find it interesting. It's my #mustacheonthecover for #Booked2021 and my #doublespin for #bookspinbingo

MrBook @vivaastory This page sums up FreeMasonry well: https://www.freemason.com/how-to-join/what-is-freemasonry/ . I‘ve gone much farther than the basic 3 degrees the organization has. Each degree teaches a historical, philosophical, scientific, or spiritual lesson. It‘s a great educational, charitable, and social fraternity for men and women to get involved. 😊 6y

MrBook @Graywacke Haven‘t come across that one yet, thank you for the rec! 😁 6y

Kimberlone For another bookish podcast I highly recommend Overdue! I love the hosts Andrew and Craig‘s banter! 6y

ReadingRover You never cease to amaze @mrbook!!! (Also I have a very funny free mason story for you but that will have to be for another time. 😉) 6y

Amiable I'm the oldest of 6, too. Yay for the first-borns of the tribe! 😀 6y

alisiakae I love the Library Bar! 6y

Sharpeipup You like tatertots?!?! 😮 6y

Avanders Oldest of 6! 🤭 Very cool ☺️ Also — collegiate racketball! My sister was really good at that.... I was too hyper and not disciplined enough 😆 6y

MaleficentBookDragon @LibrarianRyan macro is close up photography at a 1:1 ratio, lifesize or larger. It is so much fun. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macro_photography 6y

MaleficentBookDragon @TheReadingMermaid that would be fantastic! 6y

BeansPage OMG and I want to own goats too but I want to own the kind that you milk to make cheese and butter and all that 🤪🐐 6y

MaleficentBookDragon @kaye I've listened to all the reasons so far at least 3 times and I still laugh. 6y

Kaye I‘ll give it a listen soon 😊 6y

Avanders No 8 — 30 years! You‘ve got me beat by about 10 😁. No 10 — fun! I love going to the movies and don‘t find nearly enough time for it these days... And No 11 — just making sure you mean *goat and not *coat 😘 I don‘t know anything about cashmere goats, but I think goats, in general, are great animals! 🐐 (edited) 6y

But Enough About Me | Burt Reynolds

so-so

Burt has some good stories to tell, and each chapter is about a different person. My favorite was about his friendship with Bette Davis. I usually love audio memoirs that are read by the author, but he was really hard to understand for a few chapters.

Maybe Under the Dome? Not sure. Les Miserables is an ongoing project for me.

Both. Depending on my mood, or what I've just read.

Crisp?

Earl Grey. Earl Grey Cream, Smoked Earl Grey, all kinds of Earls.

Out of the house, in a quiet corner of a coffee shop or pub.

I've loved it for as long as I can remember.

@Jenni_Capps

Pruzy How does on go about reading in a pub? Seriously, there needs to be guides on it! 7y

Bostonmomx2 @Pruzy it does seem like it would be quite distracting hu? I have a little non-Starbucks coffee place around the corner but it‘s never quiet enough to read in. 7y

TheKidUpstairs @Pruzy @Bostonmomx2 I find the noise helps me to read, it gives me something to block out. And I've got a great local spot (it's a brewery tasting room actually) with a cozy couch and some comfy chairs that are perfect to curl up in with a beer and a book. And no children interrupting me to get them a snack, or break up a fight over a toy! 7y

rabbitprincess *applause for your Coffee Crisp reference* 😄 7y

TheKidUpstairs @rabbitprincess thank you, thank you. I know any non-Canadian Littens might find it confusing, but it was three first thing that popped into my head! Especially as a non- coffee drinker. 7y

alisiakae I had to look up coffee crisp. 😃looks yummy! 7y

Prairiegirl_reading Lol!! Coffee crisp is the best!! Well done! 🤣🤣 7y

LeahBergen Coffee Crisp. 👏🏻 7y

Bostonmomx2 Never heard of coffee crisp so Googled and holy heck, I might have to order from Amazon. That sounds heavenly. I can‘t stand drinking straight coffee but love all other coffee flavored goodies, especially ice cream. Yup, I‘m weird like that. 7y
