If Goldman discusses the tarot stuff then I will definitely pick up his book. I've been interested in his Lennon book for years, even though I know it's supposed to be pretty trashy.

It curiously says more about him than Green's own book does. If you can stomach digging through it for the info, I recommend it.intriguedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09756759837504156262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-55705542739084579272022-08-30T13:01:05.162-05:002022-08-30T13:01:05.162-05:00Thank you for the comment!

I got hired because John Green was "taken" by my 3-legged large black dog, went and read the tarot cards and hired me. He and a woman named Valerie owned the restaurant.
