Centique
Lucky Man: A Memoir | Michael J. Fox
post image
Pickpick

Published in 2002, its taken me over 21 years to get to this book! You get a taste of the 80s and 90s, Michael‘s childhood and time in Hollywood - but of course so much of this is about his Parkinsons diagnosis and dealing both with that and his turbulent “young Hollywood star” lifestyle. I was amazed at the perspective he had for 2002, not just in considering illness and his life purpose but also understanding ⬇️

Centique … his privilege compared to working class people etc with the same diagnosis. His insight into the artificiality of Hollywood and fame was also clear. Thought provoking and im keen to read his further memoirs. 3mo
squirrelbrain I have this on my physical TBR shelf -I *will* get to it one day…. 3mo

All my NF were great this month. Going through a celeb-memoir-audiobook phase and they were all very good, each distinctly different although covering overlapping time periods and events. But since I have to pick one…

Lucky Man - 4⭐️
Brat: an 80s story - 4⭐️
Stories I Only Tell My Friends - 4⭐️
Ted and Ann: the mystery of a missing child and her neighbor Ted Bundy - 4⭐️

I grew up watching Michael J Fox on Family Ties & of course most of his movies (all 3 of my kids love Back to the Future). My husband & I recently watched his movie, Still, on Apple. This book is very similar to the movie as he discusses his initial symptoms & diagnosis. He wrote this book a few years after his diagnosis. He talks about his childhood & early years becoming an actor. Through his diagnosis he‘s become a fierce advocate for funding

💜 MJF but still haven‘t read one of his books, have you?

One of my favorite quotes “Acceptance doesn‘t mean resignation; it means understanding that something is what it is and there‘s got to be a way through it.”

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks How are you feeling? 12mo
Deblovestoread @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I‘m feeling fine. Slight cough and a little less energy than normal is all that remains. Thanks for asking 😊 12mo
Eggs I‘ve read all his books and loved his story and his positive attitude despite his losses. @Deblovestoread 12mo

#ThankfulThursday @Cosmos_Moon

I vote regularly, but I'm Hungarian so I won't this year. I think it's important that everyone take part in the decision about the country's next few years.

I'm thankful for my family's health and for Litsy being such a positive space.

Since I'm posting this late, I'm not tagging anyone in particular, but please consider yourself tagged if you feel like playing!

eeclayton Thanks for the tag @Varshaa ❤️ 4y
Cosmos_Moon Thanks for joining in and for voting anywhere you are! It is important for freedom and democracy‘s survival all over the world. 4y

squirrelbrain It‘s a good one @kaysworld1 ! The hosts are @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage and @4thhouseontheleft so check out their pages or just search on the hashtag #booked2020 and the list is not too far down that feed.... be interested to see what you come up with! 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @kaysworld1 We‘d love to have you! Our approach is to keep it fun and stretch our reading choices. 👊🏻📚♥️ 4y
TheSpineView I used to like Michael J. Fox until he testified in court that he thought it was OK to test on animals. I am very conflicted about this issue. I love animals and my pets are family but I also understand the need to advance medicine. I just wished we could find another way besides using animals. 4y
Caroline2 I read this years ago and I really enjoyed it. He is such a lovely man; self deprecating and full of wisdom. 👍 4y
squirrelbrain That‘s good to know @caroline2! 😘 4y
