The Risk of Being Ridiculous
The Risk of Being Ridiculous: A Historical Novel of Love and Revolution | Guy Maynard
1 post
It's Boston 1969 and nineteen-year-old Ben Tucker lives in a funky apartment on Mountfort Street with his tribe of fellow long-haired freaks. Together they mix radical street politics, a love of rock of roll, and celebratory drug use in their desperate search for lives that make sense in a world distorted by war, racism, and bankrupt values. Ridiculous takes you on a passionate, lyrical six-week ride through confrontation and confusion, courts and cops, parties and politics, school and the streets, Weathermen and women's liberation, acid and activism, revolution and reaction. And, of course, Love-as through it all, Ben feverishly pursues the long-shot desire of his life: Sarah Stein.

And the Random Word of the Day is: LUDICROUS.

Definition: FOOLISH. RIDICULOUS.

Also: NOT THE RAPPER.

This is one of my mom's favorite words. Sleeping in on a weekend when I have things to do? LUDICROUS. Politics? LUDICROUS. Paying full price for a pair of pants? LUDICROUS. Acquiring more books when I have no more space to put them? LUDICROUS. (She grumbles, but she loves me and she lets me be.) 😆 Anyone else experience this word this week?
