Just finished watching the Chinese Long Day's Journey into Night. Don't know what I think. It's very dreamy, but the second half of the film is even more so, with everything occurring in one continuous take that is sad, surreal, funny and a little scary. You have to stay with it. The first half jumps around in time and you never know where you stand or where the story is going. I liked it, but it also seemed to keep you at arm's length. More technically brilliant than emotionally gripping.

I've been off Facebook for three hours - what a difference!  This is the place to be - where sanity rules the day.

That’s quite the millstone, DR George.

I’m terrible at never thinking to look at the numbers.

I normally don't pay attention to them.

Maybe a little too depressing. She liked David Copperfield many years ago

Thomas Hardy?
Stella Gibbons?

Stells Gibbons, yes. But I like my mother. Why would I give her or anyone else Thomas Hardy? Sorry, but I loathed Tess, Jude the Obscure, The Well-Beloved and Return of the Native. And I liked those more than his poetry.

I loved Far From the Madding Crowd.

I liked it. The one Hardy I loved was The Mayor of Casterbridge, but I don’t want to give Mom a book about wife abuse.

I think not.  Hmmm, maybe the timing isn't right for Major Pettegrew.

I was thinking either Gerald Durrell or A Gentleman in Moscow.

I am not familiar with Durrell.  When my current book group read A Gentleman in Moscow I found those who weren't as keen on it missed the humor.  I read it twice and laughed more the second time.

His first three books are what the TV show The Durrells in Corfu was based on.

Oh right.

Is it St. Patrick's Day?  I should have worn green - I wore green the last time.
