Greenlights

Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Ummmm - wow. I've never read anything like it. Borderline stream of consciousness at times with some of the most outlandish personal stories I've ever read. You don't doubt for a second that they're true, but you find yourself shaking your head over and over. I do appreciate his originality and voice - no ghost writer here, but as Charlie Sheen once said, some portions were like a "sober acid trip". This book makes me want to be a better journal writer. So much of what McConaughey included came from notes and diaries he's kept since he was fifteen.

Happy reading and here's to lots of greenlights in 2021--
