RuPaul recommended Valley of the Dolls in Books (curated)

"I’m always interested in the untold stories of Hollywood. Usually you get to hear them from real estate agents, hairdressers, makeup people…. but you never really see them on screen or on television because Hollywood does not like movies or television shows about itself. But Jacqueline did."

Album Favorite

"I knew I was going to pick a David Bowie album, I found it difficult to pick just one though. I love the way he tells stories in his lyrics. I also really love his chord progressions. Aside from the meaning, I really love 'China Girl'."

Carrie Preston recommended A Good Man is Hard to Find and Other Stories in Books (curated)

"The Grandmama of southern gothic literature, O'Connor unabashedly tackles faith and faithlessness head on. Grotesque, funny and oftentimes creepy, these stories draw a picture of a society on the brink of moral bankruptcy. I find them more relevant today than ever....even on a desert island."

Eleven Kinds of Loneliness

Richard Yates | 2008 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Favorite

"Of course, Revolutionary Road made quite an impact on me. But these stories are exquisite. Yates' understanding of the human psyche in the day and age in which he lived, the confines and conflicts of expected norms, and the turmoil which they generated, is excruciating yet mesmerizing."

I liked this one, but it's bugging me that I don't know enough of the back stories to work out what they've messed up or tweaked. I did come across the fact that Mystique is Nightcrawler's mother... which made sense, but confused me to no end.
