Chocolat
Light reading:
Parnassus on Wheels and Haunted Bookshop by Christopher Morley
"I never expected to be an author! But I do think there are some amusing things about the story of Andrew and myself and how books broke up our placid life. When John Gutenberg, whose real name (so the Professor says) was John Gooseflesh, borrowed that money to set up his printing press he launched a lot of troubles on the world.
Andrew and I were wonderfully happy on the farm until he became an author. If I could have foreseen all the bother his writings were to cause us, I would certainly have burnt the first manuscript in the kitchen stove."
Movie in the queue:
Babette's Feast
When you live in different states, it makes it difficult for friends to enjoy a Friday night movie together. So, you have to resort to cyber-movie dates. Two friends, one in Oregon and one in Washington, joined me in the commitment to watch Chocolat and then send any thoughts that had been let loose with the viewing. It made for an inbox sprinkled with critique and appreciation, with discussion ranging from femininity and red shoes to societal rules and Christian freedom. Next on the list: Babette's Feast.
