I'll Take You There

Wally Lamb

Felix is a film scholar who runs an informal movie group in the old single screen theater in town. Once a week, he screens a particularly important film in the history of cinema and then leads a discussion. Once day, while setting up of group, he is approached by a couple of ghosts of hollywood past, who are able to show Felix his life film. That is, they have his entire life on film and when he watches, he can step in to the scenes and truly experience all the emotion and drama of the events. In essence, this is a coming of age story for a 60-something man. It was an interesting road-trip listen, but I probably would not have had the patience to stick with it as a read.
