unbelievable
The stranger follows the stoy of Adam Price and the secret that has just been revealed to him by a man known only as "The Stanger". With new twists in every chapter, The Stranger should have you hooked from start to finish. Well written and plot twists in all the right places; I couldn't recommend this enough.
The Stranger is also a British television series made as a Netflix original, I would however recommend to anyone that they read this phenomenal novel before even attempting to watch the series.

How Coyote deals with culture shock (0 more)
Witty and chaotic, Coyote Blue is a unique read. Poor Samson Hunts Alone, or as he is known now Sam Hunter. His life is orderly and known. At least until Coyote appears. Where there is Coyote there is chaos. Now Sam has to figure out how to put his life together, get the girl, keep his biggest secret safe.
Filled with Coyote stories and lots of chaos. Also when they talk about medicine it's not magic but it's also not not magic. It is hard to describe.

"I really love the enigmatic, haunting approach of this film—how it presents this all-girls boarding school, repressed and rife with secret undercurrents of sexual longing, that then ruptures upon colliding with the mysterious and raw natural world. It’s such a fascinating film to puzzle over, and I find it inspiring how the writer of the original novel, Joan Lindsay, by not providing a solution to the mystery and instead allowing the mystery itself to be the focus, upended narrative expectations and created something so beguiling and unforgettable."

"I think this one speaks for itself. I saw this after I saw Poetry. I wish more of Lee Chang-dong’s films were on Criterion. Song Kang-ho in Secret Sunshine is not the central performance, but he’s just so honest and raw and true. He’s this man who wants to be loved so badly. It’s heartbreaking. Director Lee really turns a mirror on you. I was raised very Christian, and somehow this film echoes the things buzzing in the back of my head. It’s nice to have someone make you not feel crazy."

"This is the other book I live by. It's fiction—a guy travels to find a secret book that has a series of principles. The story is a metaphor for life: I could go left or right, I could be stuck, or I could keep advancing. Some people are happy where they are. I tried to hire a guy once, and I said, "Don't you have ambition to be bigger?" And he said, "No, I'm good." I had to respect that, but for me that was the wrong relationship."
