People keep insisting I read/watch stuff, so I figured I'd list those assignments here.
Chris:
Parts of the New Testament (i.e. Gospels, Acts, Romans and (maybe) Revelation -- Read Hebrews instead)
Mark:
No Country for Old Men (movie)
They Live (movie)
Dad:
Moby Dick
Co-Worker:
Atlas Shrugged [loooooooooooooooong drawn out sigh]
And here's some old recommendations from people that I still have in mind.
Alejandro:
Haruhi
Gunslinger Girl
Yami to Boushi no han no Tabito
R.O.D. the TV
Ouran Host Club
Maria-sama ga Miteru OVA
Mia:
One Hundred Years of Solitude
AldenMacrae:
The Thirteenth Tale
Ragnell:
Wonder Woman: Land of the Dead
PapaJoeMambo:
1971 King Lear movie
Anthony (old boss):
The Chinatown Death Cloud Peril
Angrybee:
Jennifer Government
Only Begotten Daughter
Photoash:
Kitchen Table Wisdom/My Grandfather's Blessing
All Over But the Shoutin'
And here's just stuff from people who liked stuff that I think I'll like, too:
Ragnell:
And Her Smoke Rose Up Forever
The Dark is Rising series
Where the Girls Are
Le Morte d'Arthur
Karen Healy:
Black Widow: Homecoming
Soon I Will be Invincible
Karma Girl
The Pro
KannaOphelia:
Malory Towers
Agatha Christie novels (got "And then There Were None" on the WishList)
violetisblue (well, more like she used these as influences for the book she updates)
Little Lord Fauntleroy
Pamela (yeah, I know, I know)
The Wicker Man (movie)
What's the point of all this? Just to show I do listen, even if when I get around to a recommendation by that point my old relationship is pretty much dead. Books and movies go on forever, and all that.
Anyway, now I'm curious about 1.) What on this list do you think isn't on there that should be and 2.) Have I ever given you a recommendation (or assignment) that turned out really well?
