Re: The Road



I'm not sure if Kira was alluding to this or not, but The Road is being made into a feature being directed by John Hillcoat, who directed the film Nick Cave wrote, the Proposition. </p>

</p>

I myself am reading Naked Lunch which ties in well with all the Deluze I have just finished reading in preparation for a paper I had to write.</p>

No, I am not working on the feature. Frieze films, part of the Frieze Foundation and art fair, is working on a Youtube based project, using The Road as the jumping point for content. </p>

Karl Popper, "Conjectures and Refutations"



Also, damn, Stendhal's "the Red and the Black" was good. Like "Crime and Punishment", it's a classic that nearly anyone ought to be able to read and enjoy.

Re: The Road



I have decided to save all of my reading until the middle of july to the middle of august when i have less work...i am reading so much of other things for work, that i do not have time to read more than one page of a book at a time...[:(] but somehow i keep buying them, just looking at them, longing to read them.</p>

Re: The Road

Am currently reading Ian Fleming's complete anthology on James Bond short stories. Just finished 'Quantum of Solace,' it was a brief but interesting read even though it wasn't really about Bond. It provided an interesting parallel/reflection into Bond's inner world however, I actually wouldn't mind seeing a Bond film that showed more of his psychology.
