His quote about reading made me all misty. It's so dusty in here... 😉 I'd love to see that museum someday. I've always had a warm (puppy) spot in my heart for Peanuts.
I enjoyed it very much, and highly recommend, Robot. It's in California’s wine country, which is very pleasant, and worth a visit even for non-vinophiles.
I LOVED every single Agatha Raisin story when I read them between 2010 and 2015, but then they made the series out of it and I hated it. My Aggie was nothing like Ashley Jensen's. Eye roll.
Anyway, from some piece I heard ages ago on NPR, I recall that Lucy based on Shultz's first wife whom he hated, and who apparently either couldn't cope with or contributed to, or both, Shultz's depression that set upon him when he returned from the war. I remember in that piece, too, thinking that his love letters to his paramour were a bit icky.
Yeah, it's rare when a book is turned into a film that I am happy about that. The only book that I thought was better as a movie was The Horse Whisperer. The Harry Potter movie franchise destroyed my relationship with the books and I still resent it.
I don't mind, Whitney, but I understand why others do! Thanks for catching my error ("You talk, they listen" should, of course, have been the other way round!) I've fixed it. 😊 Also thanks for your Schulz comments, which doubled down my determination not to get interested in him. 😄

Ack! And that, right there, made me think "The past should be interpreted for us by honest history, but art should speak for itself."
