There is no Netflix in Germany. This sucks hard. I watch a lot of movies. I don't really want to go into a huge list, I've had them here from time to time, and no one ever seems to read this shit anyway. Stanley kubrik and Terry Gilliam. If you want to know more ask....
Now that I'm stateside again, and my Dad has a TV bigger than my flat in Berlin, I enjoy watching cooking shows on the cooking channel, home makeover shows on the home makeover channel and fashion shows on the fashion channel. My dad likes FoxNews, but it makes me want to stab my eyes out with red-hot pokers.
**NEW BOOKS** The Naked and the Dead-Norman Mailer (this book will put you off war AND ham n' eggs) The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon, The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov, Running With Scissors is not by David Sedaris, but it could be, Out of Africa-Isak Dineson (better than the movie, and the movie was really good) Great Expectations-Charles Dickens (even if you had to read this in school re-read it now.)The God of Small THings-Arundhati Roy, The Witches of Eastwick- John Updike(I loved this movie when it came out. The book will add crucial detail to the film)The Professor-Jane Eyre (find out why pretentious, stodgy men in courderoy jackets think they are sexually appealing to young hot women) SOME OTHERS::Umberto Eco- The Name of the Rose, Aldous Huxley- Brave New World, The Corrections- won a lot of awards, good stuff, but a little pretentious, (by Jonathan Franzen) , Memoirs of a Geisha- I know I'm the last person on the planet to read this, but it is a page turner. Nothing you probably couldn't figure out about the geisha culture, not a deep read by any stretch, but you really are captivated by this chick's kimonos. Oh, and despite its autobiographical form, it is ALL fiction, and it was written by a white guy, so, whatever. ****Authors whom I read all by and suggest to e'ryone*****Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams (RIP), Neil Gaiman, Philip K. Dick, Frank Herbert, Jane Austin, Anita Brookner, and Virginia Woolf. Also (In no particular order):INAMORATA by Jospeh Gangemi (a peg-legged butler, a shady gynocologist and a team of stodgy scientists are just a few of the inhabitants here...) WHITE NOISE by Don Delillo (a great Americana novel; think John Updike) SPEED TRIBES by Karl Taro Greenfeld (a caustic and powerful rhetorical counterweight to the existing bland and myopic literature on New Japan. Everything from ''hostesses'' to Tokyo drug dealers) THE ROLLING THUNDER LOGBOOK by Sam Shepard (a gorgeious pictoral diary of Bob Dylan's rolling THunder Review, a rag-tag variety show presented asa a travelling gyspy circus in the autumn of 1975. "Fraud: The Strategy Behind the Bush Lies and Why the Media Didn't Tell You" by Paul Walderman(this book was written by a well respected media analyst who basically gives the statistical analysis that was so lacking in Michael Moore's Farenheit 911. It's not emotive,and the author has fastidiously researched the info in this book, so it's worth looking at if you want some numbers to back up your Bush bashing), "The Virgin Suicides" by Jeffrey Eugenides, "The Intuitionist" by Colson Whitehead, "Galileo" by Bertolt Brecht, "The Stranger" by Albert Camus (this is the story that The Cure wrote Killing an Arab about) "Holidays on Ice" by David Sedaris (if you hate, I mean really FUCKING HATE x-mas as much as I do, you must read this book), "XTC-Chalkhills and Children" by Chris Twomey (this might be out of print now, but if you're a fan of this band this book will give you an assload of insight into the reason they self-destructed), "Guns , Germs and Steel" by Jared Diamond (this book is a fucking amazing journey through 13,000 years of the development of humans and civilization. So well written you'd think it's fiction) "Middlesex" by Jeffrey Eugenides,The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
