Now this is a kick in the pants. One of my favorite books, The Right Stuff, has been chosen as the latest selection for the "One Book, One Chicago" program. It is basically a citywide reading program, and as part of the festivities, the city is going to have a live screening of the movie version of The Right Stuff, which, not coincidentally, is one of my favorite movies. (The movie takes some dramatic license with the facts, but is overall quite truthful and an absolutely perfect complement to the book.)
Of course, the movie night is next week, when I'll be way out of town on some vacation. What a gyp!
Nevertheless, I might still bust out my tattered copy of The Right Stuff, or even check out some of the other activities associated with this. It turns out, every now and then, the City does do something right.
