You Should Be Into This: 5 for 5
PERSON: Public, not private This may be a bit anti You should Be Into This, but so be it. This month you should be into not being into the real lives of people you admire. By this I mean enjoy their art, their words, their buildings, their feats, but leave it there. I know its [...]
Just Kids – A Constant Friendship
I don’t really know what there is to say about this book, just make sure that you read it. Patti Smith’s latest book, about her relationship with renowned photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, published in 2010 and a New York Times bestseller is truly lovely, and not because it is wonderfully written or about particularly outstanding events. [...]
You Should Be Into This: 5 for 5 – August 2010
BOOK: Picnic at Hanging Rock My two favourite films of all time are “The Proposition” written by Nick Cave and Directed by John Hillcoat and “Picnic at Hanging Rock” Directed by Peter Weir and based on the book of the same name by Joan Lindsey. This second film captures what I think the eeriness and [...]

White is For Witching
I’m a sucker for anything to do with the dark side. Vampires, demons, I can’t get enough. But more than anything I love witches! So when I spotted White is For Witching on the shelves of my fav local bookstore, obviously I couldn’t resist. It’s totally un-put-downable, beautifully written, and far out is it creepy! [...]
You Should Be Into This: 5 for 5
BOOK: Slaughterhouse Five – Kurt Vonnegut It’s a classic. One of those brilliant classics that makes you believe in classics again. This book has such an incredible handle on nonsensical reality and suggestion that I couldn’t but help fall helplessly into its weird set of wires. Its only let down is that it ends, this [...]
Book Review – Middlesex
Middlesex Jeffery Eugenides Published 2002 by Clays Ltd. Incest, hermaphrodites, war and riots – this sounds like the kind of intrigue you’d give up sex for right? Oh the disappointment and frustration of doing such a foolish, foolish thing! Generations of inbreeding in the Stephanides family have culminated in Cal – a forty something year [...]
