Book asks for you!

What book was turned into a movie and turned out to be as good or even better than the book?

Is there a particular author you would like to meet in real life?

What book are you reading right now?

What book was turned into a movie and turned out to be as good or even better than the book?

Jaws by Peter Benchley is a pretty horrible book. It is completely different from the movie. For example, in the book Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) is a young preppy attractive cocky stud jock and there is a romance between Hooper and Chief Brody's wife Ellen! Spielberg took a horrible book, and turned it into one of our best monster movies ever made.

Is there a particular author you would like to meet in real life?

You didn't mention alive or dead. All three of my answers, are dead.

The first author that came to my mind is James Baldwin! Simply because he is so sexy! I want to do naughty sexy things with him. Intelligence is so hot.

The second author that came to mind is Walt Whitman. I want to be his friend! I think we have a lot in common (spiritually) and I would love to know the conversations we would have together talking about nature, love, life, the cosmos, the spirit, and Abraham Lincoln. (He totally had a thing for Abe.)

The third author that came to mind, most people have never heard of before. His name is Alexander Key. He is most famous for writing the book that the Disney movie "Escape to Witch Mountain" was based on.

I have read almost all of his books (they are out of print and difficult to come by) and I have also collected some of the books where he provided the illustrations. Almost all of his books have a magical / fantastical / science fiction element to them - like kids who are aliens or from other dimensions, or kids who have encounters with unusual phenomena or they discover they have hidden magical abilities. And he even wrote a non-fiction book, "The Strange White Doves" filled with true stories about how animals have ESP! There is even a chapter about how trees have ESP! He published his first book in 1930! And I just know, he writes so much about magical / mystical encounters, that he must have had some real life experiences himself. I would love to know what inspired a lifetime spent writing for children about how they have untapped magic inside of them.

I just opened my copy of "The Strange White Doves" (published in 1972) and on the book jacket Alexander Key is quoted as saying, "Man has become so self-centered and destructive that there is very little hope for him or his planet." Then he adds, "If enough young people can see the truth, there IS hope."

What is this "Truth" he speaks of??? I'd love to get inside of his mind and know what he knows.

What book are you reading right now?

You know I always have several books going at one time! Here is my current pile:

"Dracula" by Bram Stoker "A Wind in the Door" by Madeleine L'Engle "The Complete Persepolis" by Marjane Satrapi "Marilyn: The Passion and the Paradox" a biography about Marilyn Monroe by Lois Banner "Wolfsong" by TJ Klune

I love you, friend! Thank you for asking! I appreciate your friendship.

P.S. In case anyone is interested in more information about Alexander Key, here is a link to his Wikipedia entry.

SATURDAY MUSIC VIDEO MATINEE: “We’re Getting Closer to the Sun”—https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uYsfZKue5s   Lyrics in this song were prompted by Lt. Uhura’s (Nichelle Nichols) comments to Captain Kirk (William Shatner) in the 1968 Star Trek TV episode, “Bread & Circuses.” The song is the title track from a full-length album in the works—a  collection of songs based on a childlike faith in themes of the cosmos and God, angels and astronauts, spirit and science. Musically it pulls from late 60s experimental pop and psychedelia, surf rock, spy movie music, and future-primitive sounds. I drew inspiration from the moral tales in “The Twilight Zone” TV series, the C.S. Lewis space trilogy, and science fiction books I read in grade school from Scholastic Book Services, particularly books by Alexander Key. Some modern sci-fi (especially in film) is dystopian, depicting the human race as grubby poltroons who deserve to be enslaved by machines or brutal corporate dictators. I defer to a gentler, cleaner, and constructive brand of sci-fi, speaking towards empathy, hope, possibilities, and divine dynamics.
