The 22nd Ave Book Club has chosen for our next book Sinclair Lewis' Main Street. We had decided to read some best-sellers from the past and we were choosing from the 1920s. The other books we considered were All Quiet on the Western Front, Edna Ferber's So Big, The Bridge of San Luis Rey, Lewis' Elmer Gantry, and a book by Zane Grey.
The movie last night was Gosford Park. I'd seen it before as had Mary Louise but we were eager to see it again. I turned on the subtitles, this being an Altman film where everybody talks over everybody else and the background noise, including the music of Ivor Novello, was substantial. What a fine movie with, as they say, a star-studded cast, starting with a favorite of mine, Michael Gambon.
Karla's fake sangria was great.
