🍰 One of the Twin Peaks books. 18 hr movie.
🔫 Aaron Burr bio. Simple cover. Likey.
📚 Many. Ray Bradbury was the most interesting. News is bullshit he said (without cussing) back in the 90's. Have a Bradbury tale related to news. I should write this shit down.
🍅 Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe (used to make them). Delish but prefer bbq now.

GarthRanzz I saw Bradbury back at SDCC in 2008. He was being pushed around in his wheelchair by some booth babes, face covered in lipstick prints. He was fully enjoying himself. 7y
BookBabe Ooh, I adore Bradbury! You‘re so lucky to have had the pleasure of meeting him. ❤️ I, for one, would love to hear your Bradbury stories! 7y
CherryPie @BookBabe He was really nice and appropriate. He had a good story for every situation, believed he had an eidetic memory and remembered his own birth. I'm sorry he's gone. Did you read Gaiman's story about forgetting? Not really about Ray. Eidetic memory made me think of it. 7y
BookBabe @CherryPie I haven‘t read that yet. That‘s awesome about Ray. Although I wouldn‘t want to remember my own birth...that‘s scary, lol. But shortly thereafter would be good. 😛 7y

A quick, interesting read (despite the fact it took me several months to finish, it was really just a couple hours, with long interlude in the middle). Got this one from Lin-Manuel Miranda's list of books he used when researching Hamilton. He mentioned this as the book that changed his whole perspective on Aaron Burr, creating the sympathetic character we all love and weep for in the musical.
Anyway, the book's great, and Erebos agrees.
