Suswatibasu (1703 KP) shared Books Editor 's list

Sep 12, 2017
I can seriously recommend The Return by Hisham Matar and Another Day in the Death of America by Gary Younge. A great mixed bag of non-fiction literature in this year's Orwell Prize longlist.

Movie Rating Watch
Laughs throughout even though a lot of them were nonsensical. The cast is great in their roles, just a silly movie. (0 more)
A script, and character development that's been done over and over, to death. (0 more)

Book Favorite

"Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okora was a favorite book because I was only reading news articles when my partner, Janaya, bought if for me. It reminded [me] that Black girl magic is everywhere."

This scared me half to death. It seems quite an innocuous story to begin with, but it just builds and builds. It's very reminiscent of a few Stephen King stories (involving cars or creatures of the night), but at the same time, we shouldn't compare Joe Hill to Stephen King (I have GOT to stop doing that!). He very much has his own stories to tell. And this is a good one. And I quite like being scared to death, for the record.

Very balenced documentary
This documentary follows up where Faster finished it sensitively deals with the risks riders take the injuries and death that happened in the 2 seasons covered. As a Moto GP fan it added insight as to how the death of rider effected the others, but anyone could pick this up and start watching. If you are interested in why people do jobs or sports where they could or often are injured this could be of interest to you.
