B2 Literary Mayhem No.18/2 Gump and Co. by Winston Groom

Some of you complained about not enough reading to do, so here's a funny one for those, I am going to ask questions about both texts on Forrest in two weeks and I am also awaiting your presentations on the books you have read. Enjoy your reading! and listening (I am attaching the audiobook this time as well)

Hello again, My Name is Forrest Gump and,
LET ME SAY THIS: EVERBODY MAKES MISTAKES, WHICH IS WHY THEY PUT A RUBBER MAT AROUND SPITOONS.
BUT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT—DON'TNEVER LET NOBODY MAKE A MOVIE OF YOURLIFE'S STORY.
Whether they get it right or wrong, it don't matter.
Problem is, people be comin up to you all the time, askin
questions, pokin TV cameras in your face, wantin your
autograph, tellin you what a fine feller you are. Ha! If bullshit
came in barrels, I'd get me a job as a barrel-maker an have
more money than Misters Donald Trump, Michael Mulligan,
an Ivan Bozosky put together.
