Been haphazard with #photochallenges this month. Just Life! Top pic is Farmington at sunset- walk by it daily. Below is me at standing at the point on the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge (Omaha)where NE crosses into Iowa. And of course, Agatha.

Born to Run | Bruce Springsteen
post image

#Rocktober #day14 #TheRiver This is one of my favourite ever songs. I was a massive Bruce Springsteen fan as a kid, I was that teenager with Springsteen posters all over the wall & magazine clippings glued to a piece of cardboard. This song in particular, with its atmospheric & sad lyrics just grabs my heart & squeezes. How could else could I interpret this prompt except with the Bruce's autobiography? He's not just a singer, he's a poet too.

Iamlisa22 I listened to this on Overdrive. I love listening to his voice tell his story 7y
Cinfhen Me too @Iamlisa22 his voice his melodic, soothing and sexy! You are right, Liz ~ Springsteen is definitely a poet 🙌🏻 7y
AmyG I grew up listening to him, too. But I am in NJ and that's a prerequisite. This book was wonderful. 7y

To tell the truth, I can't remember if Peace Like a River had a river in the book or not.

readinginthedark How was Canoeing with the Cree? 7y
Cinfhen Ha! That's actually funny!!! Nice title though 😊 7y
Blueberry @readinginthedark I really enjoyed it. Two young teens set out for a canoe trip from Minneapolis to Hudson Bay in 1930 The author went on to become a very successful newscaster. I was born in the North Woods of MN so it was of even more interest to me. 7y
readinginthedark Interesting! I have family in MN--love it up there! 7y
Blueberry @readinginthedark It's a beautiful place. You might also like the Cork O'Connor series by William Krueger set in the Boundary waters. 7y

As I Lay Dying | William Faulkner
post image

Still the only Faulkner I've read, and it was as challenging a read as everyone says. In a novel that favors dialogue over action, #theriver scene is a memorable exception. Remember on the Oregon Trail game when you decided to ford the river and things didn't go so well? Maybe someone in your group died recently? This scene shows you what that actually entails. #rocktober @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen

Suet624 I hated when my people died in that game. 7y
mcipher Have you played the card game? Super fun, and you're just as likely to die as on a computer. 😆 7y
BarbaraBB I just read this one. Very good. 7y
Billypar @mcipher I never heard of the card game- I'm going to have to check it out. 7y

After I saw the prompt for today and stopped my Jersey self from queuing up Springsteen‘s #TheRiver, I thought of this book. Confession time: I‘m pretty sure I‘ve never read it!

#Rocktober

Vihrig One of my all-time favorites! Hope you love it! 7y
Cinfhen Love a Jersey girl!! I'm pretty sure I haven't read this book either 😱😞 7y

Different Seasons | Stephen King

#Rocktober #TheRiver Tucked away in this book is the novella 'The Body' which was adapted and made into the wonderful Coming of Age film 'Stand By Me' starring the late River Phoenix. Gone but not forgotten, this would definitely be one of my favourite films, and a different twist on The River theme.

Cinfhen Well done👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻what a terrible lost 😢😢 7y
Andrew65 @Cinfhen Totally agree. On Halloween it will be 24 years since he died! 7y
Cinfhen No way! That's crazzzy😱 7y
