December '02 I flew up to NYC to meet up with my mother at my grandfathers
house. She first saw La Boheme in High School and was excited to see what
Baz Luhrmann did to it. Wow. The color, the visuals, and the sound...
the amazing sound!

Dry
Augusten Burroughs
Another good book by Augusten. Makes you want to drink less. Which I guess is always a good thing. Makes you appreciate what you have, also a good thing. BTW, they are making Running with Scissors into a movie (!). Looks to be a great cast too.

Running with Scissors
Augusten Burroughs
What a thoroughly strange book! It would be just a good book, until you realize that it is a TRUE STORY! Damn. What a messed up kid. I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats. I'm going to see it again and again.

BLINDNESS
Jose Saramago
This so far gets my award for best book I have read in 2004. Which will be a much bigger honor for Jose than winning the Nobel Price for Literature. What the hell do those Scandinavians know about books anyway?
This is simply an amazing book. It succeeded both in freaking me out, and making me eagerly want to go home to finish reading. Both great plot and great writing. A winning combo.

Bringing
Down the House:
Ben Mezrich
"The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions"
Great short read. Makes you want to risk your stash you have been saving
up to pay for that '84 Mustang! It is a fun book for people who have been
to Vegas, or people who think they are smart, or people who just like
money! |

American
Psycho:
Bret Easton Ellis
One of the most entertaining books I have ever read. Ok, how about one
of the most disturbing books I have ever read. Ok. both! "In a black
satire of the eighties, a decade of naked greed and unparalleled callousness,
a successful Wall Street yuppie cannot get enough of anything--including
murder." - Amazon |
|
|
In Search of Zarathustra:
Paul Kriwaczek
"Vital... Remarkable... Artfully reveals the Zarathustian
hinges of Iranian culture... [It] is written with the prescient elegance
of a curious traveler and in the hope that ideas that once changed the
world may do so again." - Boston Review
I am currently reading this... so far... very interesting
stuff...
enough "story" to keep a non-Historian interested!

The
Rules of Attraction
Bret Easton Ellis
Such a great book. Written in the 80's but is easily a reflection of the
youth of the 90's or today. I laughed, I cried, it was better than CATS
(SNL reference). This book is about Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n Roll and has
plenty of all three. The primary character, Sean Bateman, is the younger
brother of Patrick Bateman of American Psycho fame. The story takes place
at fictional Camden College (the same school the primary character of
Less Than Zero is home visiting from). There is a bit of a sex triangle,
but it is more a hexagon by the end of the book.
The movie
(starring James Van Der Beek and Jessica Biel) is a modern day version,
and also worth a look. |

"God is now here...God is nowhere...God is now here..."
Thus begins the latest Douglas Coupland book (Author of Generation X,
Microserfs, and All Families are Psychotic).
The basic premise of the book revolves around a High School
Massacre in 1988, but the most interesting part is the way the story is
told. It starts with the story of Cheryl who tells the story of her death,
Jason her High School boyfriend she had secretly married, Heather, Jason's
Girlfriend, and Reg, Jason's Father. The stories are chronological taking
place moments after the shooting, ten years later, and then a couple years
after that.

This book has received a lot of press, and for good reason.
It is truly a “page turner” (I think I finished the book in
three days, and I am a VERY slow reader). The fact that it is such a quick
read makes it a worthwhile venture for every type of reader, from sophisticated
to the “I’ll wait for the movie” crowd. It is a good
mystery with decent character development, and chalk full of enough historical
fact to make you question what we all learned in school.

Better than I and II (yes, I liked I and II). A little dark, better acting, an actual plot. Saw it twice in the first three days. Actually saw people cry at certain parts (thought it was strange, but whatever).
...and I love Natalie Portman. |

Hero
As the critics say:
Stunning, Dazzling, with emotional richness that deepens with every step.
I thought it was "very good"
You can listen to it in English, but the DTS Mandarin is required to fully experience the film. Subtitles aren't that hard! |

The Girl Next Door

Yes, it is a teen flick, but not only did I like it, Vipin &Pam
did too!

Open Water
"Based on true events"
All I will say is:
1) Like Blair Witch, this is all shot on the cheap
2) While Blair Witch did not prevent me
from going camping in the woods,
Open Water will prevent me from ever
going in the Ocean again!

Mean Girls
The first movie I saw in the theatres in 2004.
One of the funniest movies I have ever seen.
Carmel wasn't quite as bad as this.
Lacey Chabert has easily bumped her way into my top five.

This movie was based on the book:
Queen
Bees and Wannabes
