Every Dead Thing: A Charlie Parker Thriller | John Connolly

This is so much more than a thriller/ detective book. Great wisdom & writing from John Connelly. I often wonder how this Charlie Parker character is making his way relatively sanely ( so far ) through this book. The big fear at such loss would be a #MrAsylum situation ( no spoilers .all happens very early ) #OctoberXFiles

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: 50th Anniversary Edition | Ken Kesey

#OctoberXFiles I went literal #MrAsylum and I thought book & movie were both good. **OFF TOPIC** I heard the remake of A Star is Born is phenomenal- has anyone seen it?!?!? Apparently Lady Gaga is Oscar worthy🙌🏻 and how good looking is young Jack Nicholson?!?!

vivastory I was going to use this one 😂 Good choice! 6y

BarbaraBB @vivastory Me too 😀. Loved this book and the movie! 6y

Lola Going to see Star tomorrow. In hs I was OBSESSED with the soundtrack of the ‘76 version (which I recently downloaded and still ❤️) And JACK....how could he possibly have been so young???!!!! 6y

TrishB Good one 👍🏻 6y

Susannah @Lola My mom loved/loves all things Barbra Streisand, and I was raised on her albums, most especially the soundtrack to the 1976 version of A Star Is Born. I can appreciate the music of that soundtrack now in a way I never did when I was a kid. I‘m sure many would argue, but for me, Streisand‘s voice was never better. (edited) 6y

Lola @Susannah I was thinking about her voice as I listened to it recently. Just incredible. And a little crazy that Kris Kristofferson is now 82 😳 (edited) 6y

Susannah @Lola, I know! Crazy. (edited) 6y

Robothugs Nice choice! 6y

Cathythoughts It‘s many years sinse I saw the movie .... never read it. Nice one 👍🏻yes Jack looks good ❤️ (edited) 6y

Cinfhen What??? Kris Kristofferson is 82!?!? That‘s crazzzy @Lola @Susannah and I agree Barbra Streisand has such a remarkable voice... I didn‘t realize that the 76 movie was a Judy Garland remake!!! 6y

Cinfhen I don‘t think Jack aged too well but he certainly has a look @Cathythoughts @Lola 6y

Lola @Cinfhen Yes! And the Judy Garland version was a remake of the original which came out in 1937! 6y

Mdargusch What a cutie! No wonder I loved this movie! 6y

BookNerd9906 I saw A Star is Born yesterday. It. Is. Amazing. Definitely go see it, and bring your tissues. 6y

Cinfhen Thanks @BookNerd9906 for the tissue tip....adult snot is not pretty😘😘 6y

Cinfhen I listened to the soundtracks of both the 1976 and the 2018 film and I gotta say....Barbra wins hands down❣️❣️❣️And Bradley Cooper surprised me with his voice @Lola @Susannah 6y

Susannah A good surprise, @Cinfhen? 6y

Cinfhen Hahahaha, yes @Susannah I had VERY LOW expectations for a singing Bradley Cooper 😛😆😂 6y

Susannah @Cinfhen LOLOL! I‘m glad he was better than your expectations. I‘m ambivalent about the movie. I have this vague feeling of secondhand embarrassment. I have no idea where it‘s coming from. 🤷‍♀️ 6y

I Never Promised You a Rose Garden: A Novel | Joanne Greenberg

#tuneintonovember #mrasylum

Reading all your posts about asylum books reminded me of a book I loved as a teen. It‘s a semi autobiographical novel about a 16 year old schizophrenic girl who gets some help to find her way out of an imagined world that has become her reality. I thought it might be outdated but it‘s still getting some good reviews on GR, so hopefully still one to recommend!

Cinfhen, Robothugs

LeahBergen I loved this one! I read it in junior high. 👏🏻 7y

merelybookish What a cover! 7y

Suelizbeth Gosh! I forgot all about that Book. I loved it when I was in junior high, too, @LeahBergen 👍 7y

Harmless Like You | Rowan Hisayo Buchanan

https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2017/05/18/the-library-of-books-and-bombs/

When the Harmless Like You was about to be published, the author was freaking out a little (paraphrasing slightly)! So she did what we all do in these situations- took herself off to the library. The linked article tells how she became curious by the library's history as an asylum, and threw herself into researching it. #MrAsylum #TuneintoNovember @Robothugs @Cinfhen

rockpools Also, the books Q9.99 on UK Kindle, if you need to know (which I did...) 7y

Cinfhen Fascinating article~ thanks for posting and sharing ❤️ 7y

mhillis Interesting! 7y

#TuneIntoNovember I kind of went with the obvious #MrAsylum - And I'm thinking this book might be a #CultClassic and it worked for yesterday's #NovemberByTheNumbers
