Loved this. It was a “rock autobiography”, not so much about the intricate feelings and details and of his life as it was his passion for his music and where it’s led him. Very quirky, very funny. Glad I read it.

I can’t improve upon the previous entry, except to add that I wish we’d linked up “smart” with “cool” & “sexy” several … umm … decades ago. :-D

I saw “The Outsiders” years ago in the theater, but had never seen this. My husband and I watched it for the soundtrack, which was very innovative at the time but overwhelming at times. Fun to see a lot of familiar faces from way back when …

This was an interesting look at China before Communism. More than that, it was a fascinating snapshot of the passage of a man’s life, the choices & rationalizations he makes.

I missed a lot of classic books growing up. I’m looking forward to discussing this in our book group in December.

This movie had a lot of potential that it never really seemed to live up to. And there were some scenes that just seemed awkward and out of place …

Did not enjoy this, particularly.

I took it home with some curiosity, but also some trepidation. Our 8-year-old was of course curious, and we sat side-by-side eating ice cream as we watched.

Frankly, I could have given up during the first 20 minutes. I am no big fan of stop-action animation. And though this is marketed as a kids’ movie, there were several sections I felt we inappropriate for children. We gladly fast-forwarded through the scary, climactic scenes, and were glad when the film was over.

This story’s one virtue was that the stereotypical scrawny black cat was in this instance a hero. The two black kitties who live with us were more than happy to curl up with our daughter and me when we went to bed.

Two things about this book.

First, some nonfiction audiobooks are much better when they’re abridged. This is one of them.

Second, I think I was much happier “remembering” Buzz Aldrin from the moon landing days than knowing about him since then. Though he has had his share of difficulties, Aldrin comes off as rather self-absorbed in this autobiography.

I find that image of of people’s first footprints on an untouched moon much more appealing somehow …

This is an awesome cookbook. There were about a dozen recipes I’d like to try, and have used the pie dough recipe repeatedly for my quiches.

It’s great!

I saw a recommendation for this album and thought I’d try it. Sorry to say, I just couldn’t get past this guy’s voice. I tried almost every song on the CD, but it was really hard for me to listen to …

We took my almost-90-year-old mom to see this movie last night, and I have to say that there wasn’t a moment when someone in our family – from age 8 on up – wasn’t enjoying this film. Of course the visuals were great. With Pixar, the visuals are always great. What makes this movie though is the story. There are some some sad parts, but overall the story is leavened with hope, and with humor. I would recommend this movie to just about anybody, and wouldn’t mind owning it myself.
