Constant Reader discussion

We ZOOMed today, and after some small talk and photos of CRs in London, the focus was heavily on books. I imagine a lot more books came up than I will list here:
Chosen for the title, could be good--
The Girl Who Ate Books: Adventures in Reading
Should have had a more memorable title--
The High House
The mention of Claire Messud prompted most of us to say we'd read something from her. Having looked the list over now, I can say I have not ---
This Strange Eventful History
John Green is having a moment on the interview circuit with hosts naming anything and him telling how it ties in, because--
Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection
Its enjoyment grows with further reflection---
I Cheerfully Refuse
Lynn ranked the top 3 novels of Fredrik Backman--
1. My Friends
2. Anxious People
3. My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry
And others are not necessarily bad---
A Man Called Ove
Beartown
Jane read it and cannot recommended---
Sing Her Down
Great NYT article about the America books from John Jakes
Mary Anne liked the Geraldine Brooks book, which made her need to read one from her husband---
Memorial Days & Confederates in the Attic: Dispatches from the Unfinished Civil War
Also from Tony Horwitz, also enjoyable---
Blue Latitudes: Boldly Going Where Captain Cook Has Gone Before

F1 is a movie with a lot of racing --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69ffw...
Woody Harrelson in 2012 --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLqf_...
David Morse kills it in a scene from The Hurt Locker---
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bnmo8...
Somebody Feed Phil got a thumb up
Hard not to smile imagining Matt Damon as Odysseus, but he will no doubt deliver

Finally, RUTH (and everyone), please watch this trailer which features a Kipling poem. I'm in awe of this reading---
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcvLK...

I just watched that trailer, Tonya, and I will say two things emphatically:
1. I see what you mean about the impact of that reading of Kipling's poem "Boots".
and
2. I will definitely never watch that movie!

Thanks for this. I intended to be there but my brain seems to have had other ideas. I didn’t look at my calendar!

I hear you, Lynn, those 28 films are intense, but I really loved the first one.

But this poem! To tell the truth, if I read it--- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_(... ---I can't make it work. At all. There's a way that I could see making into something like this other reading--- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoZYM... ---if I worked at it for a long, long time. So I am in awe of the genius that came up with the idea of doing a movie trailer with this poem in this way. It is possibly the most effective I've ever seen.

Thanks for the summary, Tonya.
The Zooms are always fun and educational. We all need new books to add to our TBR piles. Sheila has found that Goodreads adds random books to her pile!

Link doesnt work for me

The link to the 28 Years trailer?

The link worked for me, Tonya. I had seen this trailer before and didn't realize it was a poem. I am not going to watch this film, because it is too disturbing.
