So this week we need to pick a theme song that would go with our book. Well, i recently started a new book on Monday called The Testament, by John Grisham. I'm only on page 68 out of 500, and therefore havent gotten very in depth with it. The book starts off being narrated by Troy Phelen, a very rich, old man worth around 11 billion dollars. He's had numerous marriages, children, and divorces. He has tried many times to write an appropriate will that would divide his estate evenly to his scattered family members. On the day that he plans to sign his will at a press conference type thing, he pulls out a different will that cancels everything his previous will says. After that, he gets up from his wheel chair and jumps off the railing of the balcony of his building, falling to his death. I know...crazy right?!
The song that i've decided to pick is "Can't Buy Me Love" by the Beatles. Troy Phelen was so filthy rich, but he felt so repulsive inside because no one in his family loved him. He could buy them pretty much anything in the world that they could've wanted and it wouldnt matter one bit. In the famous words of Paul McCartney, "I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love."
oh yeah and so far this week i've only read for around an hour and 15 minutes or so...not too hot :(
