It‘s not unexpected for a book set in #Paris during WW2 to have a #sadending but to say more would be a spoiler. #aboutabook

Oh my gosh! This book doesn't have a sad ending, per se, but I wouldn't call it a happy one. There's one part about a friend that -- if you've read it you know which part I mean -- truly broke my heart. We always wonder if we'd done something different what the outcome would be; but, as Mr. Ferris says, “You can if things until you go crazy.“ As someone with an anxiety disorder, this is my daily struggle. #lmpbc #groupq #sadending #marchmadness

Linsy @JenLovesJT47, I'm sending this off to you tomorrow, I swear! 5y
JenlovesJT47 I love this book so much!! In my top 5 faves of all time. Richard Chizmar wrote a sequel that came out a few months ago and it is very good. And no rush! I‘m in the process of moving this week so I‘m not in a hurry to get it back. (You can still send it to the same address though, it‘s my parents‘ house). I was thinking maybe we can all pick our books for the next round and send them together, what do you think ? 5y

Linsy @JenlovesJT47 I like it! Glad you're not annoyed. I'll post a few from my shelf that I've been meaning to get to and see which one's y'all like the look of. Good luck with your move!!! We're in the process as well, which is why I'm just now realizing that I should give y'all my parents-in-law's address while we're in flux. I'll email you, @bookwormjillk, but I'll still be here to get the Gaiman back. The new address will be for the next round!! (edited) 5y
Bookwormjillk @Linsy I mailed it a few weeks back. Did you not get it? 5y
Linsy @Bookwormjillk Let me check my parcel box. I'm super bad at getting my mail, sorry! I'll check back tomorrow. 5y

#MarchMadness

At times I question my love of WWII historical fiction as by nature of the horrors of war, you rarely find one without a #sadending for at least one character. This was a good, well-researched book based mostly on real-life women who resisted against the Nazi‘s in Germany but it was tough for me to get through all 600-ish pages. Since I‘m still under the weather, I cheated & added fresh pears to a coffee cake mix for my pairing...

DebinHawaii ...this Pear Streusel Coffee Cake, my interpretation of Kaffee un Kuchen (German coffee & cake). I am not sorry however. It was easy & delicious. Link to my full review & post here:

umbrellagirl I don‘t see how it could have been happy, either way. It was good though, wasn‘t it. 5y
TheSpineView @umbrellagirl Very good! Seems like sadness is the biggest thing that comes of wars. 5y
Eggs @TheSpineView @umbrellagirl agreed. There are few, if any, upsides to war. Loved this book 😓 5y

#MarchMadness The #SadEnding I‘m referring to is about Jack himself rather than the books.Was it Catholic guilt,alcoholism, writers block ? He died in 1969 .While Burroughs & Ginsberg rolled with times & remained creative, Jack denied that the Beats lead to the Hippies , struggled with creativity & Falstaff beer.There is a Firing Line on youtube with Ed Sanders ,Jack , & William F.Buckley .It‘s weird, sad but Jack has a moment of something.👇

Eggs He looks wasted 5y
Eggs @Leftcoastzen I was curious so I watched a clip of The Steve Allen Show from 1959. Kerouac read from « On the Road » while Allen subtly played jazz piano in the background. Amazing ? 5y

Leftcoastzen @Eggs I love that clip! I really appreciate seeing these clips that date before we could see everything all the time , you know what I mean😉Though there isn‘t a room big enough for Steve Allen‘s ego!😂 5y
Suet624 I could only watch a few minutes of the clip you posted. Buckley and Jack seemed so pompous. (edited) 5y
Leftcoastzen @Suet624 Buckley was always pompous, but Jack was drunk. 5y
