pickDavid Lynch is weirdo goals. If you don't have a solid familiarity with his work, this book will probably lose you, but it's indispensable for fans.
so-soI have been a fan of David Lynch for a long time, his film, ´Blue Velvet´, is among my favorites and, ´Twin Peaks´, one of my favorite series. This memoir takes a peek into his life and how it influenced his work. There is plenty of detail, some juicy quotes and anecdotal memories, but it gets a bit repetitive at times. There is about 100 interviews and lots of B&W photos.
It took a power outage for me to take a break from other projects and just sit and read. Happy to make this my first book of 2019! #davidlynch
Trying to complete my “in-progress” books before the new year. Probably won‘t, but I‘m enjoying the time for my own personal readathon.
I don't listen to audiobooks very often, but I'm going to try to add more to my regular reading. Here are three I have queued up for 2019!
Been very busy the past few months and had no time to read. So, thought I‘d start back off with “Room to Dream” by David Lynch and Kristine McKenna
I found my dream room 😍🥰😘🙏
pickThough I loved Twin Peaks, I‘ve not been able to sit through most of David Lynch‘s movies. They disturb me too much! His childhood was easy and nice to read about. Learning about his steep love of Transcendental Meditation was enlightening. He really has the mindfulness thing down. I admire him for that. I was very entertained by this book. Loved some parts, disliked others. 😺
pickBrain weasels stopped me from reading much over August, but at least I finally finished this. It was really great, and I want David Lynch to be my friend. And also I want to rewatch everything he's ever made. (The picture is the most Lynchian photo I've ever taken)
"I love plumbing, and then I could do plumbing of copper pipes coming out, but not shiny new copper - it would be old copper. Then I'd have different kinds of sinks and plumbing and faucets. I don't have a clue why this appeals to me, but the look of it and the design of it is thrilling. Plumbing is guiding water, and controlling water is such a thrill."
Spending my weekend cat sitting. Got three books and fifty years of Godzilla movies. Gonna make a dent in the Lynch biography, but will break it up with some other stuff too.
"Give yourself permission to express yourself as freely and completely as possible, have faith that this is a worthy endeavour, and believe that you can do it" - Robert Henri, The Art Spirit, quoted in Room to Dream.
Words to live by.
I'm not sure what to expect from this, but David Lynch is one of my favourite film makers, so whatever he has to say, I'm looking forward to it.
The trouble with having a large 'To Read' pile is that it means you have to occasionally make some tough decisions.
Making progress on this one. I love this hybrid biography/autobiography. Since it‘s been a bad year for me so far, I decided to plan a trip to Los Angeles for David Lynch‘s Festival of Disruption in October. I can‘t wait!
It‘s been awhile since I‘ve been on here. I‘ve had a lot of life stuff happen. My grandma passed last month which has been hard and stressful tying up all her financial loose ends. I‘ve also been dealing with some pretty bad health issues that turned out to be Lyme. Working way too much and starting school soon. It‘s a lot, but I‘m trying to find pockets of time to relax.
😍 The one and only David Lynch! I can‘t wait to read this memoir. He is by far my favorite director. I‘ve been a fan since I was 18 and watched Twin Peaks. I love how he shows the ugly sides of beauty. And he‘s wonderfully weird. Episode 8 of Twin Peaks: The Return was amazing!! I rarely fan girl over anyone but David Lynch? 🤩
