oh my god this book was AWFUL I love history but the writer chose to write it in the most boring way possible. This is why history gets a bad rep. I mean, there's almost a whole chapter on freaking roads and different ways someone can go from Kansas to California. It's this weird obsession with some old neighbor of his who is supposed to teach us about "resilience" but the storytelling really falls flat. I am sure Charlie himself lived a great life, and long one too, and it's great, but the author's desire to tell absolutely every single detail of his life makes this book a very boring and unexciting read. Towards the middle of the book, I stopped caring about Charlie, about the history of the twentieth century, I just wanted it to stop. Then I realized I will be 100 years old by the time I finish this book, and that time is precious, so I stopped reading it. Charlie would.

The Fall of the House of Usher

I watched it because I heard people recommending this movie. It was OK. Like not mind-blowing or anything. Just all right. Parts were funny and mind provoking and other parts just felt forced. The concept of multiverses got boring pretty quick and they didn't really go with it anywhere, just kept rehashing the same stuff over and over. But obviously I didn't walk out of the movie, I watched it, so not a complete failure.

CODA

Saw this with my 15 year old. in a movie theater, like you are supposed to! even though it is not my kind of movie, I can tell how much work went into it and definitely had my jaw on the floor during some flight scenes. tom cruise still got it. val kilmer was sad to see but kind of nice he still gets to act. action is great. and it stands the test of time-my teen loved it! overall, a very enjoyable summer movie
