Welcome to Litsy!

A very pleasant #audiobook. I was telling my mom that it felt like listening to my grandpa telling stories, though my grandpa didn‘t grow up backstage at burlesque shows! Not at all gossipy or salacious. He‘s honest about difficult things, especially his mom‘s mental illness and his struggle with their relationship. I found the first half (growing up, falling in love, trying to make it as an actor) more engaging than the second. Still, a pleasure.

Another day off because of weather (ice storm warning!). I‘m glad, too, because I‘m really struggling with Crohn‘s related fatigue right now.

April and I are snuggling up and listening to Alan Alda. My mom got me a CD player/radio for my birthday last week, so perfect excuse to listen to this library sale find rather than waiting for a road trip to use my car‘s CD player.

A delightful memoir by one of my favourite famous people 😊

Thanks for the tag @SauerPatch
#ISpy some books with stars (of stage and screen 😆) on them.

@Linsy @Kalalalatja @Scochrane26 I challenge you to find a book with a building on it.

Reading while waiting in the car has its own little peace to it!
Busy weekend but hoping to end it with a good book! ✌🏼😊

The difference between listening and pretending to listen, I discovered, is enormous. One is fluid, the other is rigid. One is alive, the other is stuffed. Eventually, I found a #radical way of thinking about listening. Real listening is a willingness to let the other person change you. When I‘m willing to let them change me, something happens between us that‘s more interesting than a pair of dueling monologues.” #QuotsySept19

What in the burlesque were the talking ladies?

1.He gave life to the iconic Hawkeye, has been a lifelong activist, and he's a writer!
2.We have both a swamp cooler and an ac, the latter we only use when it is too humid (or hot) for the swamp to work effectively, which has been the last 2.5 weeks.
3.Watching Colbert/tv with my husband.
4.I live life always waiting for the other shoe to drop. 🤪
5.Hardly ever remember them; haven't had a recurring one since my mid 20s.

Delightful. Honest, insightful, funny, and incredibly humble all along. I've always loved Alan Alda, now I love him even more. #popsugar2018 #animalinthetitle

TBR pile question: latest book mail?
I accidentally bought his second one so I ordered this.
I can‘t wait to read it!

During the first day, curious at having outsiders among them, a long stream of inmates came over and talked with me. Remarkably, according to what they told me, nearly every inmate in the prison didn't do it. Several thousand people had been locked up unjustly and, by an incredible coincidence, all in the same prison.

On the other hand, they knew an awful lot about how to knife somebody.

I love how autobiography lets you learn from people with wildly different life experiences. This one was excellent. Can't wait to read the second autobiography he wrote!

Rude Pokemon interrupted my reading lunch.

Some pre-work reading!

Pfffft. The way I play there IS no difference between tuning up and playing 😂
