"This was such a surprise. I had never heard of this film. The premise is original and poignant, and the performance by the little girl is mind-blowing. It is about the power that movies can hold over us. It delivers the wonders of childhood and the saving grace of imagination."

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Hag-Seed: The Tempest Retold in Books

Oct 7, 2020

Only Margaret Atwood could take Shakespeare's "The Tempest" and turn it not only into a truly modern piece of art, but also include a rendition of the original play, in the most surprising way. Read my review of this rollicking novel here

Jeff Bezos recommended Memos from the Chairman in Books (curated)

Memos from the Chairman

Alan Greenberg | 1996 | Business & Finance, Humor & Comedy

(0 Ratings)

Book Favorite

"A collection of memos to employees by the chairman of the now defunct investment bank Bear Stearns. In his memos, Greenberg is constantly restating the bank’s core values, especially modesty and frugality. His repetition of wisdom from a fictional philosopher presages Amazon’s annual recycling of its original 1997 letter to shareholders."

Ross (3284 KP) rated Between The Buttons by The Rolling Stones in Music

May 14, 2020

Rolling Stone's 357th greatest album of all time

Forgettable album by Jagger et al. I listened to the original issued version, rather than the US version which included "Lets Spend the Night Together" and "Ruby Tuesday", which certainly would have helped. Without these, there is very little to remember here.
