Book Rating
Have you ever picked up a book, thought it was going to be mediocre and realized that it brought out the passion in you? I have read a few books that have truly spoken to me, Parnassus on Wheels is one of those books.

I fell in love with the characters. Helen wanted an adventure and she definitely got it. I wish that this was my life. I would love to take an adventure with a man that is passionate about books. There is nothing better than sharing a passion with someone. I know that I'm one of those people who wants to share my latest read with the next person.

This book makes you want to find your next passion. I know my new dream is to own a bookmobile and travel the world selling books.

Ultimately, this book earns 5 golden stars. I will definitely be rereading this.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
1984 | Action, Adventure
Action-adventure sequel from Lucas and Spielberg. Indiana Jones and his friends find themselves in India where they discover an ancient cult with plans on world domination.

Not quite the perfect, gleaming classic that the first film is, nor as much fun as the third, but if you want a knockabout adventure film that goes boom-boom-boom from one classic set-piece to the next virtually non-stop, then you could do very much worse than this. Watching closely you can tell there's a chunk in the middle where a subplot has been cut to keep up the pace and shorten the film, but apart from this it's a virtually perfect thrill-ride: not as subtle, thoughtful, or textured as Raiders, but then I'm not sure it was ever supposed to be. Still very reliable comfort viewing for those of us who grew up in the 80s.
