Tempus Fugit posted:Ugh. Life of Pi was loving awful. I didn't even bother reading it. Like 75% of the time those life changing books beloved by book clubs are terrible. Sometimes they are good but I'm prejudiced against them from bad experiences. I thought Life After Life had a cool premise though but also the early 1900s are a great setting. Also the book includes Hitler, there you go. e: omg Grrrl Sweatshirt that's amazing.  also feel free to complain.

pixelbaron posted:i didnt even like the movie life of pi I started watching that movie Like Water for Elephants or whatever it was called. I was super disappointed the elephants were real, I was expecting a cool metaphor. It wasn't as charming as Big Fish anyway even though it seemed like it was going for a similar tone.

Pick posted:I refer to them as "Starbucks literature" I love this. Definitely stealing it. The elephant movie was just so predictable too. Intelligent respectable young man has to leave his Ivy League education behind to help his family, he's so noble and poor now. He hops on a train and joins the circus where, luckily, his vet training comes in handy to take care of animals and woo the sexy horse riding lady.

pixelbaron posted:big fish was good Movies like this show that you can do a lot in terms of contrasting the idealized with the real in a cool and effective way. Mostly we just see idealized bs and lots of movies that don't play with the concept of portraying realism in fiction at all. Not every movie should do this but I like it when they play with the medium in this way. I think Northanger Abbey could be a really good movie if done skillfully. e: so much book posting I should stop I just get so excited about books.

Backstory and the 99% invisible are the podcasts I enjoy. I listen to more, mainly out of inertia.

I actually do have a little more space for books now so I sort of regretted giving away a big chunk of my collection before my last move but oh well!

i collected vintage medical/surgical textbooks but as soon as i was building up a decent collection (ok it was like 6 books but leave me alone, how many do you have?) my apartment got flooded and the books were lost in that flood i lost: 1) my vintage medical textbooks 2) my copy of one hundred years of solitude 3) my violin and nothing else it was a very poetic disaster
