Newtown to the Southeast train is 30-45 minutes of driving depending on traffic and then another 90 minutes of train time, and then probably cab or subway unless the office is close to GCT. I would not suggest this.

I love this guy.

you are fighting an uphill battle. Frankenstein is essentially 300 pages of whining by a deadbeat dad.

you might have something on point 3, but you'd have to get the jury to do some real mental gymnastics to sell them on points 1 & 2.

Where The Red Fern Grows. dogs are the best and you are DEVASTATED when they die. the end.

ironically, it's the one book by her I've really enjoyed. the two others I've tried I ended up DNFing bc I was so bored.

wish they'd let medical professionals run medicine too.

unpopular opinion but I actually like The Hobbit films. I didn't feel the extra story really hurt the source material. the plot with the necromancer was much better fleshed out (where as in the book I believe Gandalf like vaguely mentioned he was off fighting a necromancer NBD). the love story was a little meh but kili still died so 🤷‍♀️

+1. I can't even think of the book and the adaptation as the same thing except in title only. the thing was, the tv show wasn't bad. it just wasn't the novel. at all.

in the same vein, I felt like the TV show absolutely butchered American Gods, which was extra disappointing because they got the casting exactly right.

Night by Elie Wiesel. I just couldn't.

do you remember anything about the plot

100% this. grew up in the NYC northern burbs (Westchester/Putnam/Duchess) and now live in Brookfield. Danbury is nowhere near as sketch as Poughkeepsie.
