Weather - Jenny Offill

4/2/2020

Funny and enlightening with a type of humor I would call "dusky" (not quite dark but headed that way) and observant. Librarian Lizzie Benson is dealing with multiple family stresses, some early mid-life issues, and a world slowly slipping into madness over the looming life-threatening effects of climate change mixed with toxic politics. It’s apocalyptic, but Lizzie is more glimpsing the abyss rather than staring into it. Serious subject no doubt, but you find yourself laughing with a mix of delight and amusement. All with a wonderful kind of Judaic intermingling of happiness and sorrow. Lizzie is never physically described but the wise revelations from her mind, her wry humor, and her enduring compassion, acquaint us with a very appealing person... empathetic and attractive. Even her prepper obsession is kind of endearing. I’ll miss her now that I’ve finished this too short book.

As good an excuse as any to escape yourself to Wyoming for a little R & R (reading and recreation) under the skillful guidance of C J Box. Boy howdy, did I need that! Escape in the time of corona. Great read... except it seemed to tie up all the loose ends way too fast at the end. But maybe it was just so good I didn’t want it to end.

Fantastic, easy to watch movie. Great cast of characters played by even better actors and actresses. Fun, mysterious and enjoyable. I would say almost like a modern day clue! Suggest to anyone looking to have a laid back movie night! Would suggest more of an adult or high school movie!
