But wasn't it purely fiction? _________________________ "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice." http://beyondthetears.blogspot.com http://www.facebook.com/lynn.tolson http://www.facebook.com/pages/Beyond-the-Tears-A-True-Survivors-Story/130880013605676

gims Member Registered: 01/16/07 Posts: 3404 Loc: USA	I listened to the first cassette of "Running with Scissors" via book on tape. It was a waste of time, IMO. Took the audio set back to the library without finishing it. Off topic, but since books have been mentioned, readers in the group please try Elizabeth Berg's work. I simply loved The Art of Mending .

Bluebird Member Registered: 09/20/05 Posts: 2560 Loc: Pagosa Springs, Colorado	Well if you all could use a laugh after seeing the movie and/or reading the book, I suggest you buy Weird Al's CD, which is called Running with Scissors!! Absolutely hysterical music parodies. The man is a comic genius. _________________________ Jackie In My Father's house are many mansions...John 14:2 http://www.myspace.com/westernbluebird

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Weird Al? Would that be the guy my kids were so into a couple years ago? I don't think I've ever read anything by Elizabeth Berg but I love that title...The Art of Mending. It sounds wonderful. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

dejavu journeyman Registered: 08/16/06 Posts: 319	Yes, I love Elizabeth Berg's books too, although sometimes it feels like she was rushed in the writing. But "The Art of Mending" was definitely one of her best. _________________________ My website http://www.carolynagosta.com

Anno Member Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 4434 Loc: Minneapolis Minnesota	I will check out Elizabeth Berg, never heard of her before. Little Miss Sunshine was soooooo great I bought the dvd, something I never do. I laughed so hard. Just a darn good, feel good movie.

gims Member Registered: 01/16/07 Posts: 3404 Loc: USA	Those who like Berg, you might want to try Anne Lamott, also. Her memoirs are so entertaining. I read her Bird by Bird : Some Instructions on Writing and Life and sought out more, finding Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith. Loved it! It's the only book of that genre in which I have highlighted passages. It's a must read for boomers.
