And watch that gorgeous-looking film that I've never seen before. WWII, romance, and coming-of-age! Too epic.<br /><br />I've tried reading <i>Revolutionary Road</i>. I might want to pick it up again someday.<br /><br />Oh wow. I didn't know that <i>Oil!</i> was written by the same guy who wrote <i>The Jungle</i>. Surprise, surprise. Upton Sinclair is a pretty pivotal name in an American history class during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century time frame. Yeah...just wanted to share that for like, no reason.Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03026474177609894679noreply@blogger.com
