Books, Movies, Musings

I watched Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story this week. The experience of watching the film was strikingly like that of reading the book. I'm not sure whether that's a recommendation or not, plotwise - but the acting is really fabulous, and I think anyone who enjoys Tristram Shandy on any level would get something out of the movie.

Tonight, I finished reading The Long, Dark Teatime of the Soul (for the second or third time), and I keep thinking that there should be a class or a bookclub or something where everyone reads that, and American Gods, and Who's Afraid of Beowulf, and maybe like Eaters of the Dead, or something, and then there's discussion and comparison-contrast, and essays about modern retellings of Norse myth in English.

So that's what's going on in my head! How about yours?

*grin* Have you read Who's Afraid of Beowulf? before? I think you might really like it.
