I have another six months with a lot of free time ahead of me and I would like to use it to catch up on books and movies.
So I have asked friends to recommend books and movies they think I would enjoy.
So far I got
Books
1. Miriam Toews "Summer Of My Amazing Luck" is about welfare Mom's living in a government housing project in Winnipeg. Her dialogue and outlook is hilarious.
2. Anita Brookner "Hotel Dulac" is a short read about an older woman counting up what her life has meant. Won the Booker for good reason.
3. Brothers Karamazov for the "onion analogy" if for nothing else.
4. Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs.
movies
If (1968)
