REENIE'S REACH

1. Name five books you think you should read that you haven't read yet.

Okay, so I can’t count. Shoot me.

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier
A Separate Peace by John Knowles
Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins

2. Five people can come to dinner, any five people, living or dead. Who do you invite and why?

Reload the gun.

I am no good at these. I fight any kind of limitations. I am the most unlikely rebel, yet I am. I would either have one big party or a series of small dinner parties replete with fine foods, beverages, table settings, and conversation. I would include these people - and many more. It's a stellar group - Google those you don't know. :)

3. Who were five influential people in your life so far, and why?

Some of these people seasoned my life with salt… yet greatly influenced me.

Take aim again.

My mother – The insane joy of creativity
My first MIL – The power of dignity
Wampy – Why shed tears when one can laugh?
Nancy Boykin – Grace & kindness & generosity personified
Bill W. – The skills to embrace life each day with renewed hope
Aunt Jean Carol – My bonus mommy
Many, many more

4. List five of your favorite movie or TV quotes, with attribution, if possible.

I’ve randomly selected these. I’ve focused on movies. Some had impact. Some amused me. Some are unforgettable.

Groundhog Day is my favorite movie, but no memorable quote jumps out – it’s an ensemble of quotes that makes it such a worthy film.

So, I can’t fucking count.

To Kill a Mockingbird:
Reverend Sykes: "Miss Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passin'."
My eyes teared-up with this powerful line. If it needs explaining, then you need to read the book or watch the movie.

Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid:
Paul Newman (Butch): Why you crazy bastard, the fall will probably kill you.

Five Easy Pieces Dialogue:
Jack Nicholson: I'd like an omelet, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee.
Lorna Thayer: A #2, chicken salad sandwich. Hold the butter, the lettuce, the mayonnaise, and a cup of coffee. Anything else?
Jack Nicholson: Yeah, now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven't broken any rules.
Lorna Thayer: You want me to hold the chicken, huh?
Jack Nicholson: I want you to hold it between your knees.

Little Miss Sunshine (one of my all time favorite movies):
• Richard: Oh my God, I'm getting pulled over. Everyone, just... pretend to be normal.
• Edwin: Again with the fucking chicken! Every night it's the fucking chicken! Holy God Almighty! Is it possible just once we could get something to eat for dinner around here that's not the god damned fucking chicken?!

The Sixth Sense:
Cole Sear (the young boy): I see dead people.

Silence of the Lambs:
Anthony Hopkins (Hannibal): I do wish we could chat longer, but I'm having an old friend for dinner.

5. Name five foods you would like to have at the same meal in order to be truly satisfied.

Put a fork in me, I’m done.

1. Zucchini Soup, chilled

2. Baby greens, sugar-glazed pecans, variety of sliced fruits, a mild cheese… lightly dressed with lemon juice and olive oil.

3. Chilean Sea Bass or Halibut, broiled or baked, with an herb & macadamia nut crust.

4. Orzo – light seasonings of fresh basil or dill with olive oil.

5. Crusty Baguette with very hard butter.

6. Butterscotch Cream Pie.

7. Decaf Latte.
