Members Lucky Posted December 30, 2018 Members Share Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) I am gathering that there are not many book readers here, BigK being a big exception. But I just finished a great novel called A Ladder to the Sky, by John Boyne. It's about an aspiring young writer who takes advantage of his extreme beauty to endear himself to older authors. He then takes what they have to teach him and then dumps them. Gore Vidal did not so succumb, in an interesting chapter. As he becomes famous, with little talent, he needs to keep finding sources for his writings, but eventually, his looks fade and he drinks a lot. And then he meets young Theo. It's a fascinating novel, ranked 4.5 stars at Amazon, and 5 stars by me. Edited December 30, 2018 by Lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
