bailedAlright, I only got 39% of the way into this book, and I couldn‘t do it anymore. I didn‘t like the narrator at all. Robin William‘s life choices were increasingly upsetting. I only knew of him through his dramatic/comedic movie roles like Jumanji, Mrs. Doubtfire, Aladdin, What Dreams May Come, etc. So hearing about his cocaine and alcohol use, excessive infidelity with his wife, and depraved stand-up routines was too much for me.
1. Niagara Falls (Canadian side), Letchworth State Park, and Cedar Point amusement park.
2. Listening to music and coloring.
3. Tagged.
4. That I have a little peace and quiet for a few more days until my parents come back from vacation.

1. I mainly read the blurb of the book to decide if I want to read/buy it.
2. This is probably my favorite autobiography I‘ve read (so far). If you do decide to listen to it on audio, I‘d recommend listening on one of the fastest speeds. The narrator almost sounds like Robin at times.

Oh captain my captain, #RobinWilliams!
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Robin Williams‘s iconic career spanned decades. His brand of comedy was so eccentric, causing an immediate standout from peers. He was a damned good actor, too. I had somehow completely forgotten about Dead Poets Society! Must rewatch soon. I‘m saddened by the suffering he endured toward the end of his life. Only he can truly understand. Whether you‘re a massive fan or not, this is a fascinating biography of a unique, challenging life.
pickGosh I miss Robin, his warmth, humor and all the joyfulness he made us feel. There are many details in the book including what‘s behind the tragic ending of his life that I didn‘t know...
I just think, feeling all alone in life is a dark moment we‘ve all been to. How can we know better if loved ones were there and needed us to pull them out? How can we respond better? Just finished the latest season of The Sinner...and this has been on my mind...
