Late night run to Barnes & Noble last night so my son could get the new Chainsaw Man manga. I almost made it out of there empty handed but the Buy 1 Get 1 sale got me!

EclecticBookLover Love the cover for The Hustler! 3y

It's 4 minutes into my shift, and I can already tell it's going to be a crazy one. Time to get my hustle on.

TricksyTails Wishful thinking on my part. 😆 But I do love lemon and ginger...with some ginger beer and maybe a little whiskey. 😁 7y

I squeezed in this quick read between books. A fun fast read. Surprisingly, the film kept very close to the book. I loved both. Iconic role for Jackie Gleason as Minnesota Fats! And of course there's Paul Newman.

McFarchie How did I not know this was a book? 9y
FontinaBlue I was just talking about this movie last night during a Paul Newman Slapshot tangent. Had no idea it was a book! 9y
squarepeginroundhole I always hate it when a movie ends up overshadowing the book. The Color of Money was also a book sequel before the movie. But I heard the two are entirely different. 9y
Nic_Schuck I had no idea this was a book either. However, Cool Hand Luke was a book, too, and I liked the movie better than the book. 9y
deniselynn This is one of my favorite movies! Had no idea it was a book. Definitely have to check it out. 9y

And you got to remember that there's a loser somewhere in you, whining at you, and you got to learn to cut his water off.
