Book/Movie Announcement: Happy Death and Magnolia
Not too many people voted, but it's all good. Not too many people participate either, but it doesn't matter. I'd rather have quality than quantity, and boy do we have it. :)
Here's the book for this round:
"As the novel follows the protagonist, Patrice Mersault, to his victim's
house -- and then, fleeing, in a journey that takes him through stages
of exile, hedonism, privation, and death -it gives us a glimpse into
the imagination of one of the great writers of the twentieth century.
For here is the young Camus himself, in love with the sea and sun,
enraptured by women yet disdainful of romantic love, and already
formulating the philosophy of action and moral responsibility that
would make him central to the thought of our time."
And the movie:
"An intriguing and entertaining study in characters going through
varying levels of crisis and introspection. This psychological drama
leads you in several different directions, weaving and intersecting
various subplots and characters, from a brilliant Tom Cruise, as a
self-proclaimed pied-piper, to a child forced to go on a TV game show
and the pressures he faces from a ruthless father."
Happy reading/watching! ;)

I haven't gotten a chance to watch the movie yet, but if you have, feel free to make a post and add it to the group. ;)
Now that I am settling a bit (a tad) into a new job and what not it'd be good to get involved in some quality chatter about interesting ideas.
I still very much like the selection of titles for the analogical imagination and tis good to see that its still an active group :)
