#threelistthursday #tlt

My best score so far! I based my top 3 on if I had seen the movie over 25+ times! 🤣
Top Faves:
1. Working Girl: “You know where you can bury your hatchet? Now get your bony ass outta my sight!“
2. Dead Poets Society: “Sucking the marrow out of life doesn't mean choking on the bone.“
3. Apollo 13: “We just put Sir Isaac Newton in the driver's seat.“

Thanks for the tag, @TheSpineView! 🤗

1. Not to brag, but I was pretty good in high school; I graduated 3rd in my class of over 600 students (thank goodness, for I would have hated to give a speech!). But then I discovered college and was legally okay to drink at the age of 18, so partying interfered with my scholastic abilities for a while. 🤣

What a fabulous idea, @TheBookHippie! View her original post here: https://www.litsy.com/web/post/2852357

We all could use some laughs. Here's one from my life years ago:
While playing Trivial Pursuit with my mom and little sister, she received the following question: “What was the title of Richard Nixon's biography?“

Her answer (in complete innocence): “I'm a Dick?“

This still makes me laugh out loud, and I tease her regularly about it. 🤣

CatLass007 When I was in the 8th grade our West Virginia History assigned each of us to memorize and recite one of two poems. We just counted off 1-2, 1-2, and all the ones had to learn Joyce Kilmer‘s “Trees” and all the twos had to learn “Woodsman, Spare That Tree,” which was more than twice as long. I don‘t remember the poet. Then she started giving us extra credit if we learned and recited both poems. The verses from “Woodsman, Spare That Tree” (cont)⬇️ 2d
See All 6 Comments
CatLass007 are right at the edge of my memory. I feel like I could recite it if I could just reach out and touch the words. I was just about to say that I can‘t even imagine remembering “Trees” but I just remembered the first line. I‘m not sure I could remember any more than that. It‘s been 50 years! 2d
dabbe @CatLass007 What a lovely story! I believe there is such a power in memorizing poetry or a monologue from something like a Shakespearean play. I still can recite “Immense et Rouge“ by Jacques Prévert because of my French teacher having us recite a poem in French! 🤩 2d

Thoughts, Shardlakians?

AnneCecilie I‘m not really one to look up things as I read unless there‘s a reference to a painting and I want to see it 3d
dabbe I find I want to see pictures of things, too, like The Solent, The Mary Rose, Portsmouth, etc. I also look up some of the people (like Richard Rich), and yep, he was just as evil as he's portrayed in the novels. 3d
kwmg40 I like looking up the places where Shardlake goes. In fact, I'll be travelling to London very soon to visit my daughter, and I'm hoping to visit the Temple area so I can see where Shardlake spent much of his time! 3d
See All 7 Comments
dabbe @kwmg40 Oh, please take pictures and share! 🤩🤩🤩 3d
kwmg40 @dabbe Yes, I definitely plan to do that! 3d
lil1inblue I'm definitely interested in researching more about the Battle of Solent, as well as the Italian War as a whole. I like “zooming out,“ so to speak, to see how the events fit into world politics of the time. Previously, I went down rabbit holes reading about H VIII's wives, and I also read quite a bit about Greek Fire. 2d
dabbe @lil1inblue #ditto! I have read a bunch of books about his wives, too. So fascinating! I came out truly admiring Anne of Cleves and Catherine Parr. And Greek fire was so interesting, wasn't it? I'm also fascinated by water, so I loved looking up pictures of The Solent and the English Channel. It's amazing to think that England was once landlocked to the continent; you can still see it in the southeaster outline of the country! 🤩 2d

LiseWorks Greed! 4d
OutsmartYourShelf They're sly bullies who pick on the weak or those they consider inferior. 3d
AnneCecilie They feel that they are entitled to what they want because they now are rich 3d
See All 8 Comments
dabbe @Liseworks @OutsmartYourShelf @AnneCecilie ... Even though Dryrick and Furstowe are not upper class or nobility, they still lord it over others less fortunate. There was such a pecking order during this time period--the social pyramid where everyone knew his place. And women didn't even belong anywhere on it! 3d
kwmg40 I find Dryrick an interesting character. His arrogance and bullying make him loathsome, but at the same time, it seems like he might have some good qualities in him and his unpleasantness might be caused by pressures or inner struggles that we don't know about. 3d
dabbe @kwmg40 He does seems to really love his wife and children, so there is that. He also had to start from the bottom and work his way up. I find him to be quite insecure underneath all of his bravado. 3d
lil1inblue They are all about gaining money and power, regardless of the damage they cause in order to obtain them. The entitlement is so...icky. Dryrick and Priddis are particularly interesting since they had to work their way up, but seem to have a loathing for people who were where they were when they started. Is this a self-loathing of sorts? 2d
dabbe @lil1inblue Excellent thought. Or it could be a thought of “I got mine, now I don't want you to have yours and possibly rise above me again.“ Or both! 😊 2d

Thoughts, Shardlakians?

LiseWorks Was Ellen put in the nut house so the rapist could get away with it? 4d
LiseWorks Hugh just wants to go to war. He seems subdued. They all are! 4d
OutsmartYourShelf I think Leacon seems a bit disillusioned with army life. Can't make my mind up about Hugh, whether he is being mistreated in some way or if he is the problem. Poor Lamkin! One thing I dislike about this series is the constant animal deaths. 3d
See All 14 Comments
AnneCecilie @LiseWorks I wondered if she was put away to cover up a murder 3d
AnneCecilie I‘m starting to wonder what Calfhill saw. Has it do with the forest or is it related to the family in a way. The dog episode makes it obvious that there‘s a lot going on under the surface in that family 3d
dabbe @LiseWorks Interesting question, and one I hope we find out! 3d
dabbe @LiseWorks It makes me wonder if he wants to unleash his hidden rage onto the French since he can't do it at home. 3d
dabbe @OutsmartYourShelf I think Leacon has PTSD. HIs war stories told to Shardlake are simply heartbreaking. And something happened to Hugh and his sister. I hope Michael Calfhall is completely innocent. And I am HORRIFIED by what happened to Lamkin. My previous dogs were greyhounds. They're usually so gentle, but if you half-starve them like they were starved at Hoyland, who can blame them for fresh meat. 😱 3d
dabbe @AnneCecilie She definitely saw at least one man die in the fire. Or was he pushed in there? 🤔 3d
dabbe @AnneCecilie As awful as Abigail is, I felt so sorry for her losing her pet in such a gruesome fashion. And her admonishing Shardlake and telling him that he can't see what's directly in front of him--that definitely is foreshadowing bad things to come with this family. 3d
kwmg40 I find myself wanting to know more about all the new characters. What secrets are they hiding? What are they thinking? Sansom is really good at giving all the supporting characters depth and mystery. 3d
dabbe @kwmg40 I also appreciate the frustration that Shardlake feels when he can't quite solve the puzzles ... yet. 3d
lil1inblue I feel as frustrated as Shardlake regarding the Hobbeys. Something is amiss, but I can't figure it out! I have no idea what to think of Abigail. She's terrible, but I feel like there is a reason for it. It's unsettling - Sansom does a great job of creating tension. 2d

#ShardlakeSeriesBR #ShardlakeBR

Thoughts, Shardlakians?

LiseWorks The people don't seem to have a say about war. Especially the men they are gathering to go fight. The rich make the decisions, and the rest have to suffer. Women do not have a say in any. I'm glad to see the queen secretly ask Shardlake to do something about the ward for a friend. 4d
AnneCecilie History has a tendency to repeat itself. When one or more groups gets more rights, there‘s bound to be a backlash. 3d
dabbe @LiseWorks Catherine Parr has some power, but even she hides from H VIII. I have always wondered how you could knowingly marry someone you knew had had two former wives killed. What the heck? 3d

kwmg40 The thing that struck me was how wars could be started or change course based on the whims of the leaders, while all the ordinary people suffer the consequences. 3d
dabbe @kwmg40 It reminds me of THE ILIAD, where the gods play the humans like pieces on a chessboard. The absolute control these monarchs had, especially H VIII, is astonishing. No wonder some people want to be king! 😊 3d
kwmg40 @dabbe A good comparison! 3d
AnneCecilie @dabbe @LiseWorks Maybe that just shows how little power women had? She was just a pawn in a game, and saying yes gave her family more power 3d
lil1inblue @dabbe That's an excellent comparison! I can definitely see H VIII in this light. 2d
lil1inblue I can't help but compare H VIII's ego to that of the tangerine dumpster fire. Their thirst for power is insatiable. On a separate note, the treatment of and discussion about mentally ill individuals is not so different than some of the things I hear today. (And it was not that long ago that we were still institutionalizing people and performing lobotomies.) 2d
dabbe @lil1inblue 🤩😊🤗 2d
dabbe @AnneCecilie 🎯! And how do you say no to a king--especially this one? 2d

#ShardlakeSeriesBR #ShardlakeBR

Thoughts, Shardlakians?

LiseWorks I was so glad that Barack made up with his wife and that she was having a baby.. I don't understand why France is invading. I guess I forgot my high school history. This book is better than the others. 4d
OutsmartYourShelf Good so far, although I can't get a read on what is going on with Hugh & family he is staying with. Anything I can think of doesn't quite fit. 3d
AnneCecilie This book has me hooked so far. I feel that Sansom is using each book to look at something specific within the Tudor society and teach us about it without lecturing. 3d

dabbe @LiseWorks Yeah, I'm glad for Barak and Tamasin, too. All I can think of re: France invading is that these two countries go back centuries filled with hate and wanting to dominate one another. England was still relatively new to being a kick-ass country, which is why I think H VIII is so cocky with all of his battles to show his strength. Perhaps France sees England as a threat--only 21 miles from Calais to the White Cliffs of Dover. 3d
dabbe @OutsmartYourShelf Something bad is definitely going on! I've read this before, so you'd think I'd remember. But nope! I'm dying to see what's really going on behind the scenes! 3d
dabbe @AnneCecilie He was quite meticulous with his research! 3d
kwmg40 This one seemed to start a little bit more slowly than the others but now I'm quite invested in the various mysteries, and I'm enjoying learning about the historical context. 3d
dabbe @kwmg40 Agree 💯. He gets more in depth as the books continue on, but we're so invested in the characters that we're okay with that ... I hope! 🤩 3d
kwmg40 @dabbe I'm definitely OK with that. I don't mind slow beginnings if I trust the author enough to know that all the setup will be worthwhile. 3d
lil1inblue I finally got to 50% last night and promptly fell asleep! There's so much going on in this book! I honestly have no idea where any of the storylines are going to end up, but I'm enjoying the ride! 2d
dabbe @kwmg40 🎯🎯🎯! 2d
dabbe @lil1inblue We're in the saddle just like they are, traveling all over the place! 🤩🤣😊 2d
Deblovestoread I‘m got a late start but the audio is great and I‘m hooked! 2d

Lesliereadsalot I really had been oblivious to the Vietnam War and after seeing Coming Home the first time, I couldn‘t believe the war was going on around me and I felt compelled to see it over and over. I didn‘t know anybody who went to Vietnam, my parents never discussed it, it was so foreign to me. I‘ve never before or since felt so intensely about a movie. Totally blew me away! @BooksandCoffee4Me 1w
dabbe @Lesliereadsalot Thanks for sharing that. I was oblivious, too, and still have so much to learn about that tumultuous period. I never saw COMING HOME (added to my TBW list now) but BORN ON THE 4TH OF JULY at least made me more aware. That and GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM. The humor helped. 😊 1w
BooksandCoffee4Me @Lesliereadsalot @dabbe I‘ve made a point of sincerely thanking veterans for serving. Saw a biker wearing a Viet Nam Vet jacket and stopped where he was and thanked him. He teared up and looked so surprised. They received so little when they returned. It shouldn‘t have taken a decade or two to thank them with the wall. I was in middle school during the war and now have known many Nam vets. Most do not want to share their stories. 1w
dabbe @BooksandCoffee4Me They bravely did their job and received nothing but hatred from most of us. Shameful. 😞 1w
Lesliereadsalot Very shameful! Our boys did not belong there. I‘ve seen all the Vietnam movies but Coming Home made the biggest impression as it‘s about the soldiers when they got back. You have to imagine what it was like for them and it‘s not a pretty picture. You guys are very thoughtful! @dabbe @BooksandCoffee4Me 🩷🩷 1w

dabbe @peaKnit #ditto feelings on both of your choices. I've just reread and rewatched ALL THE PRESIDENT'S to bring me comfort in this chaotic mess of a country we're currently living in. As @AmyG put it, Goldberg is our Woodward & Bernstein. 👊🏻 7d

TheLudicReader 53/100. Did you know Children of a Lesser God was filmed in my hometown? Fun fact! So many flicks I love on that list but also so many flicks I am now too old to accurately remember whether I *actually* saw them or not. 🤣 6d
dabbe @TheLudicReader How cool is that? Is your hometown not St. John? I loved that movie, though I read that Hurt was an unbelievable jerk to Marlee Matlin while in a relationship with her. And I say if you wondered, you saw it! Thanks for playing and sharing. 📽️🍿🎬 5d
TheLudicReader @dabbe, I am not sure I understand your question about St. John. 🤣 My hometown is Saint John (as you know). St. John's is in Newfoundland. But Children of a Lesser God was filmed here in the 80s. 5d
dabbe @TheLudicReader I learn something new every day. 😊 I had no idea that St. was always spelled out. Now I know, thanks to you! I guess it threw me when you said just “hometown“, so I thought that maybe you grew up somewhere else in Canada besides Saint John. No excuse for me not knowing--except that I am more forgetful these days. (edited) 5d

@Eggs
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

A captivating anthology that brings together an extraordinary collection of correspondence from across history, culture, and human experience. Originally stemming from the popular website of the same name, this book compiles letters that are poignant, humorous, enlightening, and sometimes heartbreaking—each offering a unique glimpse into the minds of their writers.

BooksandCoffee4Me Have you read The Only Thing That Counts, the letters between Hemingway and his editor, Maxwell Perkins? These letters share insights into Hemingway -- the real, unheroic, determined, obstinate, fiery, pensive, colliegial Hemingway; of course, the wisdom, almost father-like attention, and expertise of Perkins and discussions regarding F Scott Fitzgerald add to the depth and enjoyment of reading this book. 1w

#ChristiesCapers @Librarybelle
A classic whodunit that shines in its puzzle-like structure, with multiple suspects, red herrings, and a tightly woven mystery. The investigation takes several twists, including a love triangle, hidden identities, and a second murder, and the clues are fairly presented to the reader. Poirot shines with his meticulous reasoning and playful ego, contrasting with Hastings‘ more emotional and sometimes naive perspective.

Librarybelle Great review! 1w
