A Fair Dose of Vanity

I've acertained that it is not all movies I dislike. In fact there is a genre of cinematic masterpieces that I am drawn and captivated by. That is the classics. Whether redone or in it's original form, if not adulterated by reformation to modern-day standards, these magnificent works of genius continue to bewilder and enchant me ( Read more... )

Mel Gibson, is better than Ethan Hawke. BUT the Kenneth Braugnah version is the best version of Hamlet. Aside from the original Laurence Oliver version. See them!

I like most of those books you listed; very difficult to pinpoint the ones I really like though, since I do not read novels as often as I should (poetry, usually, dominates most of my time).

To add to your list, I enjoyed THE BELL JAR by Sylvia Plath, GIRL, INTERRUPTED by Susanna Kaysen and am currently reading A ROOM FOR ONE'S OWN by Virginia Woolf...For some reason, I find the feminist style of symbolizing ideas and formulating characters increadibly interesting.

To think, I would find myself increadibly feminist (note the hint of sarcasm in my voice) even if I did not absourb the interesting knowledge of the annoying "go-women-as-if-feminism-has-not-existed-for-years-now..." lol.

Wow, what a boring comment of mine. I must stop before I start getting the urge to steal away your creativity to write an entry about my favorite books.
Bookish BLASPHEMY! (hedonism is not absourbed through stealing! What a random comment!)

hahaha. l8r.
