I'm thinking about getting "The Pursuit of Happyness" book. I loved the movie, so I'm really interested in this book.
I was wondering if anyone here has read it and if they liked it.

Hi pigglies! I didn't know that there is a book version of this one. I will look for it as I have the habit of buying book versions of the movies that I like because most of the time I like the book better because it is more detailed. I hope to find the book soon and be inspired once again. Again thanks for sharing.

I have not seen the book myself but if I bump into it I would surely love to read it. It's truly inspirational how Chris Gardner went from down there below and springing up to success. When I got the dvd I watched the interview with Chris and I was impressed even more to know he was present all along during the making of the movie and even helped Will Smith in answering the test.
Anyway, I might look for the title in my local libraby and if I find it I will take my time to read it.

You are so lucky to have a library with such recent books available. Our library only has classics, which means basically, they have next to nothing that I actually want to read.
Books are a huge expense for me, even more so because I usually read audiobooks instead to save myself a headache and huge amounts of time.

Our library is so small and doesn't have anything. I read so many books now that when I move, I'll probably look to see where the library is and consider that in my moving decisions. Of course, where the school I get into is will be more important, but it would be nice to live next to a library.

i haven't seen the movie and i just knew that there's a book version.
i saw the trailer of the movie and it's really a good one to watch. i have nothing to share about yet but i have the plan to watch or read it one day. ;)
