Movies That Fell Through the Cracks # 43
BOOKSTEVE'S LIBRARY (Free subscription) | 11/02/2008
Both Roy Rogers and Gene Autry were called the King of the Cowboys but for my money the title always went to Roy. A recent biography of Gene portrayed him as a womanizing alcoholic in real life. By contrast, Roy was very openly conservative, Christian and, like William Boyd and Clayton Moore also, embraced the straight, good guy values his "Roy Rogers" character had established onscreen for decades....

The Destiny Of Natalie X by William Boyd
Philip Spires commonplace book (Free subscription) | 10/24/2008

Books I just started reading a collection of Raymond Carver's short stories, Where I'm Calling From. I've only read two of the stories. "A Small, Good Thing" is very quickly heartbreaking. It is about a woman whose son is hit by a car while she is buying cakes. I am still reading A Good Man in Africa by William Boyd.
