Is It Just Me?
Is It Just Me?: Or Is It Nuts out There? | Whoopi Goldberg
3 posts | 9 read | 2 to read
Have you noticed people aren't as polite as they once were or that rudeness is no longer an exception but a lifestyle? Sure you have. All you need to do is set foot outside your door to see that bad manners are taking over everywhere. Just look and you'll see: People yak on cell phones in restaurants, and even at church. Folks in carpools wear enough cologne to make your eyes bleed. Family outings to the ballpark are ruined by rowdy drunks. People talk in movie theaters like they are in their living rooms. Well, Whoopi Goldberg has noticed all this and more and asked herself, "Is it just me?" Unleashing her trademark irreverence and humor, her book of observations takes a funny and excruciatingly honest look at how a loss of civility is messing with the quality of life for all of us.

Just watched The Great American Read and it was fabulous! I may have even ordered 5 books while watching the show.
Somehow, I know I was not the only one doing that 😜

JamieArc It definitely peaked some interest in some books I hadn‘t considered reading! 7y

Is It Just Me?: Or Is It Nuts out There? | Whoopi Goldberg

Am I the only one on Litsy who has no earthly idea what their first grown up book was? Absolutely no clue.

BooksTeasAndBookishThings No... I see some that I read young that others are posting: Gone With The Wind, VC Andrews' novels, Agatha Christie's novels, etc... But, I cannot recall my very first adult book. =/ 8y
Sue The only reason I could guess the author is because the pickings were so slim in my area back in the 80s. :) 8y
Chessa Me neither! I mean, Little Women maybe? Or Dandelion Wine? Or Night Shift? Possibly Clan of the Cave Bear? 8y

Titania My reported first adult book is not really my first adult book. I know I read To Kill a Mockingbird before I read Forever, but Forever is the first book I remember feeling like I was reading an adult book. 8y
DreesReads I don't know either--mine was probably an Agatha Christie from the junior high library (I read every one they had). My mom full-on policed my reading before that (and after), but anything from the school library passed her criteria. 8y
moranadatter Nope. I had to guess and I have no idea if I got that right. 8y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I have absolutely no idea. It was so many decades ago! And I've read a gazillion books since then. But I'll pick like others - the first adult book I remember! 8y
BookishMarginalia Nope. I don't know either. I pretty much was left to my own devices and could read whatever I wanted 8y
Trav Nope, I definitely can't remember... Then again, I can't remember what I had for breakfast 2 days ago. 8y
Owlizabeth I had such a controlled childhood, sneaking The Shining was a BIG deal for me. I'd read other adult books, but they were classics or religious. The Shining marked what I consider adult reading, because it wasn't parent approved. #sucharebel 8y
LauraBrook I have vague memories, but neither a title nor an author will surface. When I was little I thought Nancy Drew was adult-ish bc they had hard covers and thicker spines. Yeah, not really adulty. I'm going to guess and pick an early one, that I know I read in middle school.

RebL Nor I. Part of the reason is that my public school was like a prep school. Assigned reading versus elected reading gets jumbled and so my thinking gets muddy when I try to figure it out. 8y
