I have not read the book, but I think I will look for it. Have you ever seen the movie This Boys Life? It is Robert Deniro, Decaprico, and Ellen Barkin. It is the stoty of Thomas Wolfes life, and it is excellent.

This Boys Life is by and about Tobias Wolfe not Thomas Wolfe.

And is well worth the read also, as are most of his books.

I haven't read any Thomas Wolfe. I have seen a few of the movies made from his novels but sometimes that is not a good measure of whether you'd like to read one. :o

What an idiot I am. I assumed that Tom was Thomas, I also thought thatTobias and Thomas were one in the same. Thanks
