pickOur other irl bk this wk was this iconic generational story that I missed in the 90s. A curious tale of 3 mid-20s Americans living a lifestyle different to family norms and telling tales to each other of life + society. It made for a good discussion. A curious story that I found compelling but curiously forgot many of the tales quickly, although I remember the enjoyable characters. A classic in mould of on the road for a generation, glad I rd it.
pickEnjoyed this one even more than I expected.
Martin shared some great personal memories, from growing up in council housing to eventually playing in front of six-figure crowds in Italy with Spandau Ballet and moving on to acting.
Loved reading his personal life lessons along with details about ‘80s culture.

pickPaulina moved on her own at 16 to Paris to model. She met her older husband, Ric Ocasek (of The Cars), a few years later and allowed him to make most of the decisions for their family. This led to disastrous financial consequences when he suddenly died while they were divorcing. In this memoir, she examines their marriage and reflects on the difficulties of aging out of modeling. She writes about her childhood torn between Czechoslovakia & Sweden.
Some fun books that I got that I am super excited to dive into! I speak fluent sarcasm so it seems like these might be my spirit authors 🤣🤣🤣

Day 245.
Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.
Watching The Gilded Age while reading The Nineties. 🤷🏻♂️
