We did like it. Great story and well done movie.Thanks for nudging me to go. I’m so lazy about going out on weekends that I may have blown it off without your recommendation!

In reply to Suzanne Yester. Hi Suzanne. I need to see Wild. I read the book and want to see what they did with it. And I know what you mean by splitting up all the depressing books. You can't read them all at once.

In reply to Literary Feline. Thanks Wendy. Yeah I think the A.J. Fikry novel would make a very good audio. And I agree about Still Alice -- the book is done well and with sensitivity.

I felt exactly the same way about Storied Life. I was hoping for more….

Great post! Loved your take on “Still Alice”. It’s been in my TBR pile for a long time because I was reading all kinds of “depressing” books at the time and had to take a break. I definitely will be seeing The Imitation Game! I saw previews for it while seeing Wild (which I thought was OK, and book was so much better) and knew I had to see it since Benedict C. was in it and I just love his acting.

Happy New Year!

I am glad you had a nice time at the beach, Susan. It snowed in my part of California briefly over the holidays (although not at my house–just parts of my city and in surrounding cities), which was a nice surprise for many.

I read Still Alice awhile ago and it really resonated with me. Having a grandmother who suffered from dementia, a grandfather with Alzheimers’ and my husband’s uncle with early onset Alzheimer’s, it is an illness that hits close to home. I thought the other did an amazing job and was right on the mark.

I haven’t seen The Imitation Game yet, but it’s a movie I hope to see at some point.

I have an audio version of The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry and am thinking of listening to it soon. It sounds like something I would really enjoy.
