Why haven't the gun laws changed?
How can we just accept all the violence in our society?
Why do people care more about money than human lives?
When did people become so hateful?
How did we get to this point?
How can we make things better for the next generation?
Will Democracy even last in the United States?
When did people become SO self-absorbed?
How do we get people to think about the common good?
These are just the random questions clouding my brain lately that are making it very difficult to concentrate. UGH. Think I'll lose myself in a book review for a while.....
I just finished reading The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz and thoroughly enjoyed it. Imagine that you were a famous writer and now you are a has been. To make ends meet--you teach writing workshops on the side. There, you meet a young writer--totally full of himself--who just happens to have the most amazing idea for a story that you've ever heard. Now imagine that the young writer dies and you think you are the only one left who knows the story. Would you steal it and make it your own? This is the dilemna Jacob Finch Bonner faces. If he steals the plot, then he will be back at the top--the best seller list--Oprah's stamp of approval --a possible movie. Sounds like a no-brainer right? Find out what happens to Jacob after he steals the plot when you read this fast paced well-written story for yourself. It's 320 pages or a 4.5 run that's full of surprises. Enjoy.
