Re: Last book(s) you read?
Lolita. The most sick and depraved waste of paper and ink I've ever finished reading. Edit: That sounds harsh, but I was feeling slightly nauseous after finishing it. I will say that it was gorgeously written, which in a way made it worse than it would have seemed otherwise. It seemed almost to dow...

Re: Last book(s) you read?
My last book was Fingersmith by Sarah Waters: in Victorian England, a girl is hired to cheat another girl out of her inheritance, but ends up falling in love with her. Twisty, moving, and something of an unlikely LtROI similarity. Edit: It wasn't Fingersmith, that was next to last. It was The Golden...

Re: Last book(s) you read?
Fifty pages into one of the most delightful novels I've ever encountered -- Nobody's Fool , by Richard Russo, 1993. :D Aren't we going to hear what's delightful about it? My last book was Neverwhere , a Neil Gaiman fantasy about a bored office worker who helps an injured girl and ends up dragged in...

Re: Last DVD/Movie you bought or watched?
Started watching 13 Reasons Why and only watched the first ten minutes before my four year old niece came and ask if I could play with her. :lol: I will try to watch the rest sometime next week and will post my thoughts. So far I like the beginning and want to know what happened. My older niece alr...

Re: Last DVD/Movie you bought or watched?
*****SPOILERS AHEAD***** I didn't like Hannah much. I didn't dislike her, but I doubt I would have been friends with her irl. She seemed to either overreact or shut down when things didn't go her way. I felt she was beginning to fall in love with Clay, or thought she was, but then she was very nast...

Re: Last DVD/Movie you bought or watched?
13 Reasons Why I'm part way through this ( Clay is just about to listen to his tape ). Curious fact: Clay is played by Dylan Minnette, who also played Kenny in Let Me In. . I'm open to hearing what you think! :) As for my last movie, I just saw The Eyes of my Mother on Netflix, in which an isolated...

Re: Last DVD/Movie you bought or watched?
To clarify the premise of 13 Reasons Why, a high school boy receives a box of tapes recorded by his friend before she killed herself, explaining why she made that decision. To summarize, it seemed to follow a formula to some degree, while observing nuance in morality and behavior. I have tried to av...
