Feb 2016

for your wonderful contributions yesterday. Great to see all the synopses and I want to read every one of those books. You all done good and I love ya for it.

Also, rinching was what they did to their dishes, back in the 30s. Fun to see some of you recall that term.

I am now reading Reflections in a Golden Eye which was made into a movie back in '67 starring Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando, and Brian Keith. Directed by John Huston. "On a U.S. Army post circa 1948, a major who is an impotent, latent homosexual is married to an infantile birdbrain who never misses an opportunity to ridicule his masculine failings." Well, this should be interesting.
