OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Never have grace, beauty, talent, integrity and intelligence had such a collaboration as Robert Redford. Also the last of the true movie stars. Thank you for giving us so much. RIP.

I will overlook the fact that the MMC is a billionaire because who could not want to own this beautiful and cozy fall read.

I have been doing the same. Reading is life.

Yup, and on my list now. 😁

If you haven't read The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by the same author yet, you should add that to your list, too. So good!
