I'm to the part where they're making the movie. I saw the movie of To Kill a Mockingbird when I was a kid, long before I read the book. So Gregory Peck ..."
Maybe I have no imagination but I can't IMAGINE anyone else but Gregory Peck in that role. I thought he was perfect....Just the right touch. I haven't read the book in a while but I also feel that Atticus is definitely the central character...

What's the Churchill book you guys are talking about? I keep seeing references to it but not the title...

I didn't really know anything about her at all, other than she wasn't dead and Dill was modeled after Truman Capote, so I have learned quite a bit.
Folks, I am enjoying this read but have found a really irritating mistake...He says Emmett Till was killed in Alabama. So not true! Mississippi.....arrggghh....

My husband has been at home with our cat, Isaac, and said the poor little guy is really suffering. He splays himself out on his back under the ceiling fan. He has a heart condition which makes me worry.
Our finished lower level is really cool, but Isaac does not always have the sense to go down there to cool off. Silly boy.

WHO splays himself out on his back? your husband? <grin>

I am currently reading "Eat, Pray, Love"..."I read it as a teenager and identified with the yearning of the mc for "more" out of life.
OK. I didn't mean to be snarky but the content didn't sound familiar!
I'm confused. The thread is titled Team of Rivals but you're posting about Founding Brothers, right?
I absolutely love the Goodreads format for books...and it's so easy to add a book cover!

The Guernesy Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, that is.....I didn't get very far into it.
Here's the read I started last night after finally, finally finishing Team of Rivals.

I have about 50 pages left....
Gosh, I hadn't even gotten on the list for this. When is the discussion supposed to start?I'm not sure I'm up for another history book now even though I love history!
Gang, I am nearing the end of Team of Rivals - finally!!! I almost took it back yesterday with the last 50 to 75 pages unfinished. I had to pay a fine on it of $1.05....But....I am glad I stuck with it.Lincoln has always been one of my favorite presidents but I actually find myself with not quite as much respect for him as before. He had an exceedingly messy administration and it took him forever to decide to "do something" about the problems in his administration - McClellan being the big one but also Chase. Chase was pretty despicable.
He did have the patience of Job though. I don't have that much with people. - Catsluvbooks
