Book Rating

I have really conflicted feelings over this book. I think, yes, it was good, but it could have been a lot better as well. This is short, because, honestly, I don't know what to think. There were funny and sad moments, but none so wonderfully well written enough for me to fall in love with the book like I do with so many others.

Book Favorite

"Kathy Acker was a punk-rock, post-modern writer-artist and she wrote this piece after her mother died. The title says all there is to know about her feelings towards her mother. Acker’s writing coalesces to its most epic as she reinvents, bends, and destroys language, to build a world that is a complete psychological immersion and creative experience. Her books are a gift to humanity."

I'm not sure i get the title for the book... But other than that I really enjoyed it, although i was in tears for a good portion of it. They were so blind to each other's feelings it was killing me which is why i stayed up until 2:40am to find out what happened in the end. May have to read the sequel

Movie Favorite

"This is an absolutely glorious film. I adore Juliette Binoche and have had very confusing feelings in my tummy about her ever since I saw the The Unbearable Lightness Of Being. She is amazing in this film and it’s a really heartbreaking tale of loss and hurt. The scene where she water-skis up the Seine is one of my favorite spectacles in all of cinema."

Bob Dylan recommended Howl, Kaddish and Other Poems in Books (curated)

"Allen doesn’t have to sing ‘Kaddish,’ man. You understand what I mean? He just has to lay it down. He’s the only poet that I know of. I can’t really tell you all my feelings of him because they are just too total. He’s the only person I respect who writes, that just totally writes. He don’t have to do nothing, man. Allen Ginsberg, he’s just holy."
