by Bernardo Bertolucci

A painful, hilarious, and at times ugly rumination on how the idea of love and its expressions are weathered and mutated by moving through adulthood.

The Life of the World to Come (The Company)

by Kage Baker

It’s so wonderful! I simply adore Kage Baker’s Company series, after having stumbled upon it a handful of years ago. I’ve gobbled up each successive book upon their release and I can’t wait until the next in line is released. Yes, Mendoza, you will have your lovely man someday, sometime, I just know it!

A story about "Solaris"

Solaris

by Stanislaw Lem

I know it’s near sci-fi sacrelige, but I just could not finish Solaris. Possibly it was the odd language flow due to translation, but it seemed like the words were working against my efforts to get through the story. I’m renting one of the movie adaptations instead.

Fargo (Special Edition)

Astonishing X-Men Vol. 1: Gifted

by Joss Whedon

Pretty good read, despite my having no familiarity with the histories of various characters. Because of this, the climax of the story had no impact, but it was most definitely not due to the writing, which is superb.
