Looks like the next read for the book club will be interesting. I've read a poetry collection about cubans in miami that was very autobiographical...from Richard Blanco and boy was that fascinating.Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745809545249574387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-32652887556018609442011-09-05T23:02:51.138-04:002011-09-05T23:02:51.138-04:00I got to see The Help back in June for a special s...I got to see The Help back in June for a special screening and I loved it.

I didn't go; I had other commitments! And since I very rarely go to a movie...maybe once every 10 years...its not likely I will go to this one. But the whole book club enjoyed the movie and thought it was well done. The concensus by almost everyone I know who has seen the movie after reading the book is positive.
