It's been a while since I've read a really good book, but I picked this one up at Border's liquidation sale knowing nothing about it and at just five chapters in, I'm absolutely floored.

We often went to the cinema, the screen would light up and we would tremble, but also, increasingly often, Madeleine and I were disappointed. The images had dated, they jittered, and Marilyn Monroe had gotten terribly old. We were sad, this wasn't the film we had dreamed of, this wasn't the total film that we all carried around inside us, this film that we would have wanted to make, or, more secretly, no doubt, that we would have wanted to live.

Nah, I just finished reading this:






It was awesome. I don't really know how to sell you on it, but if you've ever had any interest/skepticism about the West Memphis 3 case or Damien Echols, this a must read.

Just finished this: 







It’s written by one of the writers of “The Wire”.  I like it so much I’m about to start reading it again. And if dreams do come true, I will adapt this one into a movie one day.... One day...
