Finally over. Last chapter dealt with an old topic AIDS. The story dealt with hometown boy who went away to deal with his self realization that he was gay. He went off to San Francisco and contracted AIDS. He was returning home to die. The town's people caught word that he had AIDS and refused to let him in to their businesses and even churches. He lived in the black section of town with a renter of one of his parents rental properties. She accepted him with no fears until he was so weak and frail he took a pill and ended his life. The book consisted of several stories none that I found entertaining thus I would not recomend this book for a read.
Just picked up another audio for the walks J.D. Robb "Fantasy in Death.
My next Magnolia movie to see this week is "Bran Nue Dae" is a charming new Australian-based, music-driven road movie/romantic comedy starring Academy Award winner Geoffrey Rush that literally bursts onto the screen with unbridled energy and fun. Loosely based on one of Australia's most beloved and popular musicals, Bran Nue Dae is a foot stomping tour-de-force centering on the romantic adventures of a young aboriginal couple set against the spectacularly beautiful Australia.
