Finished

I finished Travels With Charley the other day. Now I'm just sticking with Eat, Pray, Love, though I'll probably finish that this weekend. I might start another one after that, but I have an acting scene I have to memorize so the extra reading might fall by the wayside a little bit. Then again, if it's nice out this weekend, I might make a trek to the library...Maybe find the new Dan Brown book. YEAH!

Anyway, surprisingly, I don't recall really coming across any quotes that really stood out to me in TWC. It seems strange, it was a very beautiful, descriptive book about traveling across the country, but for some reason, there wasn't a lot that I came across and thought, I really need to write that down. There was this one quote I marked, he had just been talking to an actor and said this of the theatre:

"So it went on--a profession older than writing and one that will probably survive when the written word has disappeared. And all the sterile wonders of movies and television and radio will fail to wipe it out--a living man in communication with a living audience."

It was an enjoyable read. I wish I could say more about it than that, but really it was enjoyable. The writing was great, of course, but I can't say I was blown away by it. It was nice.

I'll let you know if anything new comes along this weekend.
