What's Going On Here?

There are SO MANY wonderful book review blogs out there and I can't compete with them, that is for sure. So this is not a book review blog. This is just a way for me to organize what I have read so that I can be better at matching the right book to the right person. The blog title comes from the brilliant mind of the most talented woman who ever lived, Ms. Judy Garland. The full quote is, "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of someone else." That is what I hope to do here and in ever aspect of my life.

Incredible

The Incredible True Story of the Making of the Eve of Destruction was not INCREDIBLE as in 5 Star, but it was good.  I enjoyed it because I really resonated with Laura's worry about the nuclear war.  I was 13 in 1984 and she is 16 (although she does seem a lot younger than 16 in some ways, but it might just the narrator).  I remember the fear!  I remember talking to my dad about it all.  I remember War Games and I remember learning about MAD and I remember the Doomsday Clock but most of all, I Remember...Mama.  I AM SO POP CULTURE HIP! 

Ahem.

Anyway...I liked this.  It was weird and a little hard to follow on audio and I would like to see the book to see how it is laid out, but it was enjoyable.  I just don't know how enjoyable it would be for someone who did not live through the 40s, wait, I mean the 80s!
