Not my favorite Conroy. The descriptions of Charleston were long-winded and boring; and quite frankly, annoying. But the story, oh man, what a story! It was compelling, ugly, thought provoking, gripping, and worth reading.

27/80

After the tank clicked full, I unfolded the map across the steering wheel. It would take me thirteen hours to get to Florida. Thirteen hours and almost nine hundred miles from the place where I was born for the chance that I might really live.

AmyG @Karisa I recently watched it with my daughter. She was a bit appalled. 3w
Karisa @AmyG Oooh, makes me watch to rewatch it more now 😅 3w
Karisa @Avanders I kept looking at the titles and thinking I should have seen them. But maybe I just haven‘t even though they are referenced quite a bit. Saw ET as a kid but wondering how the effects would seem now. 3w

MemoirsForMe Wow! I got 71. So many great movies on this list. Tootsie is a hoot! 2w

Wow, what amazingly beautiful prose! Has that very southern story telling tradition vibe about it. I‘m am going to pick it up in print when I find it to read the other stories in this edition.

Cathythoughts He‘s such a great writer ❤️ 3w
Tamra @Cathythoughts I listened to In Cold Blood, but this was really different. I wouldn‘t have guessed how richly he could write short stories. 😊 3w
