Let me start by saying I'm not truly a poetry person, I don't know poems and I don't care for them. This one was basically written as a book but the spacing was quite like a poem - I enjoyed that immensely, it was easy to follow and the subject matter was just intense, it made you want to continue. I am so utterly happy that I read this book

Not a bad collection of Stephen King's short stories. I noticed a common theme in many of the stories being "Do you love?" and I can not help but think that it was intentional. I am not much of a short story person but I did like many of these. I just wish that Stephen King had explanations for all of the stories in the back instead of a select few.

Movie Favorite

"MASH. To me, MASH is the superb realization of [Robert] Altman. Amazing. Whether it’s the improvisational nature, the way he layers dialogue, the way that he has scenes that are alive on every level. The rebelliousness, the anarchy, the humor. You know, Donald Sutherland and Elliot Gould were just [great]. To me, it was sort of like the perfect realization of what he does, although McCabe & Mrs. Miller is another favorite."

I struggled from the start with this. It wasn't grabbing me at all--maybe because politics bores me to death--and the fact that it was in third person when I've gotten so used to reading first, so when they got to the sex scene, I just gave up. I don't see much point in reading something like that if I'm not into the couple.

Not for me.

"The vibe of it — I always felt like this was an all-around bad-ass cop movie. I could try to go into detail about certain things about it that stood out to me, about how it all takes place in one day and how he sets him up throughout the whole day. It was done right. It was one of those movies that was just set up right."

I enjoyed this book, really I did, but I felt like this was overhyped a bit. While I understand the whole point was to make the reader realize how precious life is and the importance of just living, instead of fearing death, it all felt too pressured, too forced. The idea itself, however - of a world that can tell you that you're going to die today - was pretty interesting.

(This comic is definitely NOT for children!) I bought Chainsaw Reindeer without looking at anything past the front cover. It just looked like something that I needed to read. Lol It's a one-shot comic about a fed up reindeer that goes on a murderous rampage. It's definitely not deep reading, but it's hilarious and very violent, bloody, messed up, and weird. Best wasted $4 I've spent all week. Lol

Rolling Stone's 322nd greatest album of all time
More soundtrack music from the Toy Story man. I know that is a little easy to say, but all the songs just sound like that to me. One interesting thing to note was he wrote You Can Leave Your Hat On, later made famous by Joe Cocker and again by Tom Jones, albeit very different versions to Newman's take on it.

Before I begin, I would just like to say that I did, really enjoy this book so my three star review is by no means a bad thing, if I hadn't have enjoyed it I wouldn't have finished it, I just didn't get as absorbed in it as I wanted to. The book is beautifully and perfectly crafted and the premise was so well portrayed that you're almost led to believe that it all could be true. I don't even know what it was that made me fail to connect with this book emotionally because it's normally the sort of thing I would leap at and I'd been meaning to read it for so long yet somehow now that I've finished it feels more like a sense of achievement and a relief rather than a "what am I going to do with my life now" moment that I so often feel when finishing a book. Nevertheless, it was still very very good and I would still highly recommend it.
