so-so

Clearly, a great amount of research was put into this book. I read through most of January, looked up my own birthday in September, and decided to call it quits. I will eventually read most of this book but I plan on using it more as a reference book then something I would read cover to cover.

I am officially turning in for the night, having read 90 pages of my #1001BookSwap #SEAReaders **supersecret** chunkster of a novel tonight. This is not counting the 90 minutes earlier before the #readathon officially started. I am glad that the #readathon #deweysreadathon has given me the perfect excuse to just curl up and read read read. Distinct possibility that I will finish this tomorrow. :)

Borrowed from the terrific @booklova007 :

How did you celebrate #WorldBookDay2018?! 😁 #BookTalk

MissAimz_55 Was it yesterday the 23rd? If so I celebrated it perfectly! I am traveling for work and I'm in Nottingham England . I went to waterstones (book store) here and explored the amazingness of it! I also read at a gin bar 7y

revenge4porgy What‘s world book day? 7y

I don‘t always remember to keep up with my copy of A Reader‘s Book of Days...but today I did, and learned that John Belushi was being considered for the role of Ignatius in a Confederacy of Dunces movie (still haven‘t been made!) just before he OD‘ed on tomorrow‘s date in 1982. Thought I‘d share for my friends doing/having done the #dunces readalong!

BarbaraBB That is interesting. He would have made a good Ignatius although in my mind Ignatius doesn‘t look a bit like John Belushi! Thanks for sharing! 7y

britt_brooke Thanks for sharing! 7y

batsy Thanks for this. I just finished the book. So good, and I can't imagine anyone in the role—as a character, he's just perfect on the page (and in my imagination). 7y

ValerieAndBooks @BarbaraBB @britt_brooke @batsy you‘re all welcome 😊. Yes, I agree Ignatius would be very hard to cast and maybe that‘s one reason why it still hasn‘t been made into a movie. Maybe there are legal issues as well— I wonder who owns the rights to the book? (edited) 7y

So sad! ? I guess the movie "Becoming Jane" has a fairly strong basis in fact. #OnThisDay #Austen

This is the gift I bought for myself this holiday season. Did anyone else buy themselves a gift when they should have been thinking of others? 🎁#usedbook #2017
