BOOK: THE TATTOO ARTIST by Jill Ciment (2005)
My latest check out. I love coming across books on book lists that I might find interesting. This one I found on Chicago Public Library’s Website. More on what book list this came off soon!
DVD: THE COVE (2009)
I love a good documentary, and since this one won at the Oscars this year, I have a feeling it’ll be a good one, albeit depressing. I’m hoping for the inspiring claim made on the DVD.
DVD: BORN RICH (2003)
This is the only new thing I have checked out right now. I picked it up at the beginning of the weekend, but still haven’t watched it. Since it’s only 75 min. long, I’m hoping to fit it in this week sometime or at least watch it while I’m doing stuff around the apartment.
It was directed by Jamie Johnson, one of the heirs to the Johnson & Johnson family. What intrigues me the most is the controversy it stirred up in the family. Plus, I constantly think about how people cannot help what they are born into, whether it be rich or poor, nice or mean families.
CHECKED OUT.
As of today, this is my list of stuff I need to read, watch and hear:
1. Her Fearful Symmetry by Audry Niffenegger, checked out for May’s book club.
2. Fearless by Taylor Swift. I just had to know what all the fuss was about in a very delayed fashion.
3. Pane e tulipani (Bread and Tulips). I’ve heard of this movie before, but never knew anything about it.
4. The Fame Monster by Lady Gaga. Yes. It took me this long to hear this album, and I must stay I’m digging it so far.
5. Living Oprah by Robyn Okrant. One woman’s experiment of living her life according to Oprah.
