Welcome to Litsy!

When I think of journeys & home, my mind immediately goes to several books, one being The Lord of the Rings. "Short cuts make long delays."

The movie Batman & Robin was not so great. However, the songs in it by Smashing Pumpkins linked below remind me of the cyclical nature of life within tragedy and hope. They, of course, also speak to the Batman origin story.

You #takethelongwayhome when you travel by horse and buggy, which is why Austen‘s novels always include months long visits with family and friends.

I‘d love to know what everyone‘s least favorite Austen is. Mine is S&S so it will be the next one of hers I reread I think. I‘m hoping it was just a timing issue and I love it the second time around.

This book details Buck‘s true account of his choice to #takethelongwayhome by traveling all 2000 miles of the Oregon Trail the old fashioned way... by covered wagon pulled by mules 🏜

In this nonfiction account, two woman travel around the world in opposite directions to try and beat Julie Verne‘s Around the World in 80 Days. These woman were trailblazers in 1889, traveling alone and unaided as they captivated the attention of the country.

(Day 26 - #TakeTheLongWayHome)

*The title of this song made me think of Cameron‘s book (tagged)—I suppose I‘m always thinking about animals! Not sure why I do that 🐰🐇🐣😻🐶🐹🐻🐶🐱🐷🐨🐧! 😱
BUT! I don‘t think there was any other album that I played more than this one when it came out (and for years after that—I wore out the cassette in my car!). I loved Supertramp! (Guess I still do...)

A short Christmas story about a brave little robin who flies through ‘dark forests, driving rain, huge mountains and stormy seas‘ to reach home.

Loved Supertramp, although The Logical Song or Breakfast in America were my favourites.
