Bits and Pieces

Regarding some books and movies that I have recently viewed and read.

Munich-- Go see it. Keep in mind that it's based on historical events, it does not purport to be a documentary, and has some noticeable distortions and omissions. The movie does not really do justice to the events that occurred at Munich and after. Read the book--One Day in September.

Take this test. And specifically the race test. A fascinating look at our own inner prejudices. Found the site from Gladwell's book, Blink, which I highly recommend.

Currently I am reading Al Franken's new book. It's alright so far with the usual tirades against kooky right-wing commentators, Bush, and Repubs in general, but is interesting and fun nonetheless, after all anyone who dislikes O'Reilly and Hannity and Limbaugh is a-ok with me.

Back to Arrested Development: Season 1.
