I am on page 63. Thus far no sexual content (I was worried that it might get explicit at some point...hoping it won't because I am enjoying the book). There is a death scene that is fairly gruesome...and maybe historically accurate(there is so much debate over what Pocahontas's people were really like). The book is written by a distant relative of Pocahontas. I really like the cover picture.



I finished watching...
The Amazon Prime description:
An honest, hard-working salesman has lost his job, his girlfriend, and left part of his sanity behind as he heads to New York to pick up the pieces of his life.
The Goodreads description of the Saul Bellow book (which I want to read):
Deftly interweaving humor and pathos, Saul Bellow evokes in the climactic events of one day the full drama of one man's search to affirm his own worth and humanity.
My thoughts: A well-done character portrait of a man whose life is unraveling while juggling complex relationships with several difficult loved ones. The ending makes no sense without having perhaps read the book...I had to Google to figure it out. Robin Williams does well with this person who might be on the verge on insanity and definitely has intense emotion.

A 'seize the day" scene from another movie (which came out after)...


Well, that's different...for a baby shower. DLG Ice Factory




I want the kids to see this one and it would be nice to read the Paddington stories.
