The Spoils of Poynton: Novel

Henry James

So, there are some shows where I don't think I would understand the spoilers even if I watched the shows. Mostly in the Star Wars/Marvel unvers-i... But I can spoil almost any Henry James novel for you. @edithsays1862

@HarryEwingg Recent books I've read that are lesser appreciated classics: REBECCA by Daphne Du Maurier, and THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY by Patricia Highsmith. Both are fun reads!

@Ms_L_Simpson THE MILL ON THE FLOSS is (almost) worth reading to see how George Eliot makes every character insipid. I love MIDDLEMARCH, but the other books I've read by her are terrible

@DanielleNicki My favorites don't align with reader responses, but: MALIBU CANYON, a short novel; and THE ASPERN PAPERS, a feature adaptation of the Henry James novel with an original backstory.

Let's put together a list of great Hollywood autobiographies. Here are three that immediately come to mind (and I'd rate them in the 9+ out of 10 range): * Harpo Speaks—Harpo Marx * Shelley II (The Middle of My Century)—Shelley Winters * The Kid Stays in the Picture—Robert Evans

On the Waterfront: The Play

Budd Schulberg

I'm reading WHAT MAKES SAMMY RUN? It's a terrific Hollywood novel that was published in 1941, and it's still relevant. It was written by Budd Schulberg, who wrote ON THE WATERFRONT a decade or so later. Highly recommend Sammy! I may post more about this as I continue to read...

Novel recommendation: I really loved STONER. Another under-the-radar mid-20th-Century work. It's about academia (sort of). Author John Williams deserves more attention. @SamanthaDunn https://t.co/1eJU59KrAO
