What I'm Reading
- Edward Rutherfurd: Sarum
A Michener-like story, in both scope and length, of the history of England, lived by fictional families, but geographically and (as far as I know, but I'm no historian) historically accurate. Centered around the area of Salisbury/Stonehenge (****)
Films
- Barney's VersionThe latest film I've seen featuring Paul Giamatti (one of my faves- see him in the series John Adams), Minnie Driver, and Dustin Hoffman. Paul G. plays a man who meets his true love at his own wedding (to someone else).
- Looking for EricA sweet and funny indie film about a soccer fan who develops an imaginary relationship with his greatest sports hero, in the process of trying to recapture his life and lost relationships.
- The Art of the StealThe story of the Barnes Foundation and the greatest collection of post-impressionist art in the world, and how it was "stolen" by the Philadelphia art establishment. I found it fascinating.
