Whoa . . . I woke up at Sarah's comments at the meeting.
I'm sorry it started out such a slog. Glad it hooked you with at least something later on, though.
Coincidentally, I just listened to this podcast and they rate this book very highly. I'm going to read it next. I think you'll both enjoy this (and the rest of their episodes are really good, too):
Do you even "The Prestige" bro?
I liked it. David Bowie plays Nicola Tesla. Great casting. .
I loved him and the documentary. Picked some travel places because of his stuff. But I don’t think I want to read this. Agree too personal.New book about Anthony Bourdain. Apparently publishes a bunch of his texts. I'd like to read it but won't. Seems like a dick move to publish that private stuff. I loved his show. Some of them were outstanding. Montana is one of my all time favorites. He was a weekly lesson in how to treat people.
The Last, Painful Days of Anthony Bourdain
A new, unauthorized biography reveals intimate, often raw, details of the TV star’s life, including his tumultuous relationship with the Italian actor Asia Argento. And it’s drawing criticism from many of his friends and family.www.nytimes.com
Oh and I’ve finally started Southern Charm. I just finished Dahmer and needed something light and fluffy! But now I feel I’ve done an injustice to my dog by not having a lavish wedding for her.New book about Anthony Bourdain. Apparently publishes a bunch of his texts. I'd like to read it but won't.

Clinical depression is a mental illness. It's not a case of the blues.
isn't it crazy. such a wonderful job. and he was so good at relating to people. no matter the variety he fit in seamlessly with them. but he said he hated his fans. hated be famous. hated his job. as mark says mental illness. he also had a woman step out on him. mhmm.
Clinical depression doesn’t care about any of that. Lots of depression is actually situational. He’s a sad example.
Have you read Kitchen Confidential? It's pretty clear in that book that Tony's greatest joy was being in the kitchen with the guys. Planning a menu. Coming up with a genius way to use up that seafood that didn't sell well over the weekend before it spoils. He was all about running the best galley possible. He was never into fame.
If you're at all interested in food, you should read it. One of the best.
His No Reservations openings were always very well written.
I’m more interested in the travel portion so I read and enjoyed No Reservations and World Travels. He was such an entertaining guy and so talented. Seems like many people like that do have their demons.
Update. The season got better in the final episodes. Moral—don’t f—- with Tommy Shelby and Peaky Blinders. Left the door wide open for yet another season.
I loved the old Hammer Films, and grew up loving anything Sammy Terry showed. But somewhere in the 70s, "but with a knife" seemed to define the genre and it lost me.
Slasher films, to me, are cheap thrills. Give me the old psychological or "terrifying being/creature" films all day long.
I meant the movie...but Halloween is 2nd only to Christmas.
I watched the Bad Seed again just a couple years ago.
