I like this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/25/movies/films-dispense-with-storytelling-conventions.html I really want to see The Master and Holy Motors.

Tove Jansson, Moominvalley In November :stars5: First time in a very long time that I've re-read the last two Moomin books, and they still hold up incredibly well; if anything, they work better now than they did back then. The series starts out as "just" well-written children's stories, then...

Really?

Same here. Probably more than that. But some I've really liked so far off the top of my head: - New ones from Neil, Bob and Patti, obviously - First Aid Kit, The Lion's Roar (seriously, anyone who likes alt country and isn't listening to this is missing out) - Lee Ranaldo, Between The Times And...

Thanks, o mighty admin! Much appreciated. :flowers: While you're at it - any chance you could take a look at the "Recent threads" function when you have the time? It used to link to the most recent post in a thread, now it just links to the first post in the thread, which limits its usefulness...

^^ That's nothing. I used to have a dog who, when you woke her up and asked her if she wanted to go for a walk, would stretch, yawn and clearly and distinctly reply "Nah." (She was clearly lying, too.) Meanwhile, Discovery has found something on Mars. They're not saying what just yet. But I...

This year's nominees.

Randall is awesome. ETA: But I was always skeptical of the idea that the cabbage is safe with the wolf. Most dogs I've known would be happy to chow down on vegetables.

Really? Where? We have a thread on it here. Personally I was less than impressed.

Roth's last (allegedly) interview ever: talking about giving up writing http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/18/books/struggle-over-philip-roth-reflects-on-putting-down-his-pen.html

Damnit, I envy anyone who gets to read Foucault's Pendulum for the first time.

The President is not impressed.

Rabbit, Run is the only Updike I've read. At the time, I figured I'd continue with the entire Rabbit saga, but while it's an excellent novel, Rabbit Angstrom is also such an asshole that I find myself wanting to avoid him. Which may be a sign I should continue...
