Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

Rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am a sucker for this kind of movie. It is an "up all night in the city, having an adventure" type of film. Similar but totally different films: Judgment Night, Go, The Warriors, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, and even Adventures in Babysitting.

Incredible songs make me want the Soundtrack for my iPod.

I am getting a bit tired of Michael Cera playing the Dufus underdog rolls he seem so well suited for.

Put it in your Netflix queue and enjoy.

Rating: 4 of 5 stars

I finished book 2 just as Taylor finished book 3 of the Harry Potter series. I don't think that I will ever be able to catch up with her at the rate she is flying through these books.

It is nice to have a little book club right here in our own house, just Father & Daughter.

I do not know why it took 14 years for me to "discover" this book. I guess I was waiting for my daughter to be old enough to read it first. Not bad for a "children's book".

Therefore, Repent!

Therefore, Repent! by Jim Munroe

My review

Rating: 2 of 5 stars

My first stab at reading a Graphic Novel. The plot twist at the end boosted my rating to "it was ok". I would have liked this better as a traditional novel. I need more exposition to flesh out a story enough to hold my attention.

I have not yet sworn off Graphic Novels, but one more like this will push me into the uninterested group of readers.

My review

Rating: 3 of 5 stars

Interesting future history where there is no death, set for the most part in Disney World. You can buy this book at your local bookstore or Amazon, but it is also available for free from the author's website: http://craphound.com/down/

Nice to read a book by Steve Martin that is not humor based.
