Welcome to Litsy!

Chapter 25. Apparently being a teacher was a horribly shameful thing? Or was the teaching profession a sign of poverty? I‘m laughing at this whole conversation at the Bretton breakfast table.

The movie was uneven. Stellar cast but the acting was hit or miss. Some sets were exactly as we‘d pictured from the book like the Dotheboy school, and some sets like flimsy pasteboard. Sometimes the dialog was true to the story to the word and sometimes completely made up. How could it be otherwise to condense a 34-hour book into a 2-hour movie? I‘m very glad I watched it but, as expected, the book was countless times better. #whattheDickens

Starting this movie tonight! #whattheDickens @Cuilin

Reminder of #ParentChildLove of Atticus and Scout during a recent visit to Monroeville, childhood home of Harper Lee. Her house is gone, but there are remains of Truman Capote's aunt's nearby home. The character of Dill is said to be based on him. #FeelintheLove @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

Now, on to the second-to-last set of stories: HIS LAST BOW. The discussion for “The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge“ will be next Saturday, 3/1, and will be led by @Cuilin. We've almost read the ENTIRE canon! 🤩🤩🤩

Just finished. I LOVED this book—it‘s right up there with A Christmas Carol. Even though we have through March to read it for #whattheDickens I hurried it up so I can watch the movie before it goes off Prime. What a satisfying read! Review to come. @Cuilin

When I think of books with #ParentChildLove Little Women comes to mind quickly. Marmee had great love for her daughters & they for her.

(The 1994 movie version is my nostalgic favorite, but the 2019 version is also excellent).

Stopped at 6 indie bookstores in NOLA #shopsmall
