Welcome to Litsy!

I loved All in the Family as a kid. Even though, in the early 90s, I didn't understand much of the context, I still laughed at Meathead and Archie's bickering and had a sense that it was more significant than I could grasp. Like many of his shows, it had broad appeal, but so much more behind it. TV will never be the same.

I laughed, I cried (no seriously, I did!) at this delightful memoir of the rise and rise of the great Norman Lear.

For the record, I love memoirs. Memoirs are the only nonfiction I really enjoy. In addition to that, I grew up on Norman Lear. All in the Family, Good Times, and The Jeffersons are all part of the fabric of my childhood. With all of that, I loved this book. The man is in his nineties, and he lived through and participated in so much television history. I found his recollections very interesting.

I actually have everything done for school, so I am spending my Saturday reading guilt-free. The grading period ended yesterday, so I was forced to get everything done. I lucked out in the new kitten department, because JB is adorable and loves to snuggle with me when I read. When he sees me get a book, he comes running to sit with me. I hope he never grows out of that 😻

Currently reading the left two on audio via Libby, even though I have these hardcovers. I listen while I work. And reading the third in person, lol. Also, Inkspell on Libby.
