"The Silver Linings Playbook"

Here's how much homework I did before I started reading this book.  Um.  None. 

I had no idea that the book turned movie was about a guy with mental issues. 
I have this thing about reading books before I watch movies.  It makes the books better, I think.  It also makes the movies worse.  Alas, maybe I should just skip the movies altogether. 

Here's my favorite line:
“I am practicing being kind over being right.”
― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook

Oh, and...
“Life is not a PG feel-good movie. Real life often ends badly. Literature tries to document this reality, while showing us it is still possible for us to endure nobly.”
― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook

And I find the Kenny G references hilarious. 
I would like to try some crabby snacks.

Overall, its a quick read book with some serious life lessons.  And if you like the Philly Eagles, you are set.  Try it.  Read it....and THEN go see the movie.  I have about 50 pages left.  I won't let you know how it turns out. 


I HATE it when surprises are spoiled!!
