Jonathan Kellerman recommended The Stories of John Cheever in Books (curated)

Book Favorite

"Any collection of John Cheever’s short stories. I’m not a big fan of much of what passes itself off as literary fiction, finding it to be insipid, self-indulgent, plotless, and pointless. However, Cheever could write about everyday life and make it fascinating. His psychological insights are deft, never heavy-handed, and sometimes, as in his story “The Enormous Radio,” he veers into some really strange territory."

"Before that, I read a book called The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. I go to bookstores when I’m in London or America. I get a coffee and keep browsing for hours—something I can’t do in India. I come back home with a bagful of books. I’m always stopped at customs as they think I’m carrying some heavy electronic items!"

Album Favorite

"This record is a gift that keeps on giving. I listened to the CD on a loop for months in my car. It’s unsuspecting: On first listen, it just sounded like one long song, but upon closer inspection, there’s a whole universe of small, strange moments, peaks and valleys. It’s a progressive concept album—both extremely heavy and lighthearted—with some beautiful sadness sprinkled in between."

Abandon all hope ye who enter here
A very influential book that has in ways I didn't realize has made references and framed how I think of things before I ever read the book.
It is a heavy read and as you progress down the circles of hell the descriptions get more and more gruesome. I think everyone should read this at least once.

Fascinatingly horrific
A film that follows the horrific events of what happened in Detroit in 1967 that reflects not only what society was like then but what it is still like today. It's thought-provoking and gut-wrenching and you leave the cinema with a heavy feeling in your gut. It's a little too long, bits can definitely be trimmed off here and there. It's a film everyone needs to see.

One of your must reads
It maybe an old book (mentioning the great American depression more than once) but the information will never go out of date. As I stated it's not a light read but you get a history lesson, a self help and business book all rolled into one. It should be on the list of must read books in your lifetime.
