“What are you reading/watching/eating??” the readers ask. Well, here’s an ultra-short compilation:
Isn’t it great when a friend writes a novel, and you think it’s amazing? Check out Rakesh Satyal’s amazing debut, Blue Boy. It’s the perfect book for anyone who has ever spent a day feeling bullied, suppressed, misunderstood, downtrodden, or tyrannized. In other words, everyone on earth.
Also, I’m always one for New York-escapist fiction, when it’s done right. Paula Froelich’s Mercury in Retrograde feels like a vacation in my own city–not an easy feat for an author to pull off.
And Sam Raimi has finally stopped making cheesy superhero crap and gone back to his roots–cheesy, gushy, viscera-filled horror. If it’s not playing in your town, rent the Swedish vampire flick Let the Right One In. Yes, I said Swedish vampire flick.
And if you haven’t read this, and you a) live in the U.S. and b) plan to ever get sick/injured/pregnant sometime in your life, I suggest you do so. Special bonus feature: I have it on good authority that Obama’s already read it.
