Shakespeare is like mashed potatoes, you can never get enough of him.
Angela's Ashes
Quick Take
This is a fun, quirky film with great absurdist elements in it, not to mention an insightful look at modern day life. I love French movies set in "real" France. We get a peek into every day life and a seaside village that I'd love to live in.
Quick Take
I mistakenly thought this was the book upon which Mr. Kunstler's World Made by Hand was based. Still a good read. I plan on writing up something more extensive using my neighborhood as a case study.
Quick Take
My apologies to Cormac McCarthy. I thought he was a sick bastard to have authored Blood Meridian. After reading this book, well, he may still be a sick bastard, but except for The Judge, everyone else appears to have been plucked from history.
This is a difficult book to read if you have the slightest bit of empathy. Truly, the Apaches were dealt a tough hand of cards. However, this fills in the gaps in my knowledge of American history. I recommend it.
