“For me, a really radical position for journalism to take is to stop being cynical. Cynicism is what passes for insight among the mediocre.”

#colormepretty @Sweetkokoro #primarycolors is a novel that was adapted into a film In the 90s with John Travolta. I find it interesting that the author chose to be anonymous at first. I‘ve never read it but I‘ve seen the movie.

I loved this book. I keep meaning to see the movie but haven't gotten around to it yet. I highly recommend this book.

A little off topic but my sock selection this morning was quite a dilemma. #stillfeelingthebern but #imwithher since #imanastywoman

v_cuev Those socks are awesome 8y
CocoReads @v_cuev thanks! I have a couple other pair as well. I usually buy them when I go to visit my daughter at school. 8y

While The Boy is reading Vicky Bliss, I'm reading the paperbacks we brought that he said he'd be interested in reading. Am I on glue or did I read that this is based on Clinton The First (iykwim)? If so, cripes. The US political system perplexes me ever more.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa It is indeed supposed to be based in the Clintons, by whoever the anonymous author is. 8y

Voting at 6:00 am to protect corporate interests and the status quo. Here's hoping for even bigger banks!

Kathrin Pretty mixed review on this one... I'll see what you think of it before I add it... Your Maestra post certainly convinced me that it wouldn't be my thing. 8y
BookishFeminist Hills yes 👍🏼 8y

Political fiction is not my cup of tea
