Cat on a Hot Tin Roof | Tennessee Williams
post image

Now for another of my favorite movies from Old Hollywood, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof (if you haven‘t seen it, please do! Great movie and dialogue and Liz Taylor and Paul Newman might just be the two best looking people I‘ve ever seen together in one place here!)

Obnoxious odor,
smell that? The powerful smell
of mendacity.

Chelsea.Poole The audio of this was amazing 4mo
Chelsea.Poole @megabooks recommended this, otherwise I would not have discovered it and it's good! 4mo
Chelsea.Poole One of the best I read last year, what an inspiration 4mo

lynneamch Didn't know I'd care, but did! 4mo
lynneamch One with less trauma. 4mo
willaful Being Seen by Elsa Sjunneson, All The Young Men, Good Talk by Mira Jacob, Educated. 4mo
lynneamch A fave group from back in the day. 4mo
Megabooks @deblovestoread already mentioned my all-time favorite, I'll tag it, but also several more. If you are on the storygraph, I am megabucks there too. Go to my all-time stats page, and you will find 500+ memoirs with ratings! 4mo
Megabooks The ones I've listed to here are all the ones I have in the storygraph that I've given 5 stars to. I'll do a sweep to see what others I'd like to add! 4mo
Megabooks His next main girlfriend spilled even more, but this was definitely more thoughtful and reflective 4mo
Megabooks and I'd have to add my favorite Bourdain memoir 4mo
CBee @Megabooks wow Meg 👏🏻👏🏻 thanks! I will say I‘ve hesitated to read anything by Bourdain - I was pretty broken up when he died 😥 But, maybe I can try him now! Going to find you on SG, I might need to try and compile all of these into a spreadsheet or something 😂😂😂 4mo
CBee @Megabooks oh yes, I‘ve read that one! It was excellent @Deblovestoread 4mo
Megabooks Missed this 5 star one, and I think I'll end here. On a great high note. I hope you find some you like! 4mo
CBee @AmyG not really 😂 I just really love a good memoir and got inspired by the one I finished today 4mo
CBee @lil1inblue LOVED the McCurdy and the Smith. I agree anything by Patti Smith is amazing ♥️ 4mo
Megabooks @CBee yes, Bourdain's death was so difficult! Read In the Weeds. Tom was his long-time director, and he does a lot of really good wrestling with his own feelings about Tony's death and Tony's legacy. It's really good! (edited) 4mo
CBee @Megabooks I‘ll try that one! 4mo
CBee @OndinetheSea @Chelsea.Poole @britt_brooke @MemoirsForMe @lynneamch @willaful @ferskner @BookBelle84 thanks for the recs, I‘ll be busy figuring out which ones to read next! ♥️😀 4mo
CBee @Chelsea.Poole finished that one today, it was excellent! 4mo
CBee @britt_brooke loved Lisa Marie‘s memoir, loved Mama Love and Hidden Valley Road was great too! 4mo
mhillis I would recommend this adoption memoir. I went to an author event last year and the book is so well written 4mo
MysticFaerie From Here to the Great Unknown... Sociopath and My Beloved Monster are 3 that I would recommend. 4mo

CBee @MysticFaerie loved Lisa Marie‘s book! 4mo
CBee @BookmarkTavern I do love that movie, so very much ♥️♥️ 4mo
BookmarkTavern If you like audiobooks, I can‘t recommend it enough! He narrates it himself! A lot of the cast and crew do little cameos too! 4mo
CBee @BookmarkTavern that sounds amazing! I do better with audio for memoirs for sure. 4mo
CBee @Megabooks LOVED the Grohl book. 4mo
Megabooks Best musician memoir I‘ve read!! 4mo
Megabooks I am megabooks on the storygraph! (Megabucks is my childhood nickname. Megabooks the handle came as an offshoot of that!!) 4mo
ReadingRachael I have really enjoyed reading a number of graphic memoirs over the past couple of years. 4mo
CBee @Megabooks omg I totally thought you misspelled it. Megabucks is so cute 😂 4mo
CBee @ReadingRachael thank you! Graphic novels have gotten me out of many a slump, but I haven‘t read any graphic memoirs yet. Will have to remedy that 😀 4mo

#TemptingTitles #WithCat I‘ve accepted that I can get by with having read only excerpts from this (and The Glass Menagerie and Uncle Vanya) but that I‘m missing a whole level of subtlety to the cultural references in almost half the books I open, so I should really get to these works… @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Eggs 🖤🐈‍⬛🧡 2y
CarolynM You really do need to read (or see) Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in its entirety to appreciate it. It‘s an old favourite of mine🙂 The Elizabeth Taylor/Paul Newman movie doesn‘t count, they left some important stuff out. 2y
IndoorDame @CarolynM that‘s good to know! 2y

I bought this several years ago, but haven‘t gotten around to reading it yet. Sounds interesting and I‘ve heard good things about Laing‘s writing.

“I suppose I have found it easier to identify with the characters who verge upon hysteria, who were frightened of life, who were desperate to reach out to another person. But these seemingly fragile people are the strong people really.”

Remembering Tennessee Williams on his birthday.

1. Yes! I LOVE reading plays 😍. I try to read a handful every year
2. Ideally, I would read it and then watch the performance, but I‘m a happy camper either way 🎭. I definitely miss going to the theater
3. I have the tagged currently checked out from the library and will be digging in soon 🤓

BookmarkTavern We all deserve to see a play. Hopefully by next year! 🤞🏻 Thank you for posting! 4y
