LoathsomeLiar

I haven‘t read the tagged book - it‘s on the TBR list. But I‘m guessing that the one that‘s lying would be a #LoathsomeLiar

TheEllieMo @Eggs great minds think alike!! 😉 5y

TheEllieMo @MartinaLove @Cinfhen that bodes well, it looks interesting and has been on my TBR pile for a while, I may have to bump it up 5y

Cinfhen Read it!!! It‘s a one sitting type of story. It reminded me of The Breakfast Club meets Pretty Little Liars/ Gossip Girl. Fun read 5y

It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life | Lance Armstrong

#Augustabc @Eggs One #loathsomeliar that came to mind was Lance Armstrong. His doping scandal rocked the athletic world and he got sued over fraudulent claims in his memoir.

Eggs He had us believing for such a long time 5y

marleed I think what bothers me most about him is the people he negatively impacted when they did support his lies. 5y

A Million Little Pieces | James Frey

I‘ve not read the book but know the summary of it, interesting. Despite the controversy of this ‘memoir‘, the book has been adapted into a movie. Read about it and see the trailer here: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/08/a-million-little-pieces-trailer-pos...

Amor4Libros I didn‘t know this was being made into a movie, looks good! I remember when Oprah praised this book so much that a friend and I read it and were blown away. I read it again a few years ago, it‘s that good. I‘ll definetely watch the movie 5y

BoleyBooks This was the only book I ever returned to the store. I could not get into the stream of consciousness format. 5y

Eggs I‘ve always wondered about this one...I vaguely remember the controversy. Nice choice! 5y

marleed I read this book just prior to the interview and was deeply impacted. Then the interview, then the controversy. It‘s seems so odd now that I was so saddened by the aftermath . It has changed how I read memoirs. In his defense, when he wrote the book he didn‘t set out to call it a memoir nor could he anticipate it would get that attention. Even still, I read differently. 5y

DivineDiana @marleed I too read it before the controversy. Unsettling. 🙁 5y

marleed @DivineDiana I took the controversy so personally which seems so silly now. Upon reflection, much much later, I feel sorry for the author because he was caught up in a publishing world he was no way prepared for. Actually, the aftermath might make a great movie! 5y
