Reply to Update: so, I'm going to read 100 "classic" books, and To Kill a Mockingbird was the first on the list by [deleted]

No Toni Morrison or Willa Cather?

The Natural is a fun movie but sure takes liberties with the book’s story and particular ending.

Reply to The Midnight Library (Matt Haig)... Does it get better? by duckshapedpotato

I had the opposite kind of experience. I really enjoyed the premise, being a person who too often focuses on regrets. It went well for me most of the way through, but it did get tiresome and at the end I felt like I had just read a “Don’t worry, be happy” self help book. I had hoped for better, especially from how well I liked it at first.

Reply to Buy your books or use the library more? by Sleepy_Like_Me

I like those neighborhood little free libraries. I’ve found some real gems there I otherwise wouldn’t have stumbled across and it’s fun paying it forward.
