I've always been into drama (plays, musicals, etc.) but it's been kind of a goal of mine to one day make a true 'true-to-the-book' version of something. No lines pulled/reassigned. No scenes cut. No interest in generating revenue.
Oof almost read that all the way through. Spoiler tags, my friend.
Semi related, I thought No Country For Old Men did a fantastic job of representing Cormac McCarthy's book of the same name
Haven't read or seen, but I plan on it
A brief history of time by Hawking is great, just started it a few days ago
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. One of my favorites by far and medically relevant.
* don't say my good looks... don't say my good looks...* ...Uhh, my good looks?
What would one of those questions be? Can you not as easily fake that answer?
What are you into?
I miss good ol Zaza
Lol it's been 13 years since the movie came out, and just saying "he" isn't really a spoiler unless you already know the plot. 😵
I wouldn't call that ironic as it's exactly what I'd expect. People do still read books. A lot. It'd be like someone saying "gravity is a force of repulsion" and everyone saying "no, it's not, but on the topic of gravity...". They were just plain wrong. Nothing ironic about it.
Oh, I just don't want to know specifics about failures of the movies. I'd rather be impartial going in.
mainly fiction, harry potter, LOTR type stuff
Have you tried John Dies at the End? It's one of my favorites. Adventure, philosophy, horror, and comedy all rolled into one.
Ain't nobody got time for that! It may be one of the only books that I'll have to do books-on-tape for... That is if I can ever manage to remove Hamilton from my car's cd player.
Team of Rivals
oh yeah I've been meaning to read this since I'm obsessed with GoT
I'll check it out!
Yeah genius is a pretty awesome website. I love that LMM endorses annotations and also writes his own. That dude is my hero.
I can do all of "My Shot." It feels so good when the words just fly out of your mouth. My goal is to play Hamilton in a few years when the tours wrap up and local theaters can start doing productions.
Those are both extremely challenging vocal roles, Angelica especially. I chose Hamilton because I'm a low tenor and all the other male roles (Lafayette/Jefferson excluded) are more traditional tenors.
that's my least favorite question too, the mistake one. Any mistake I choose makes me sound dumb or careless.
If you want a bit of science fiction, you should try Fire Upon the Deep. It's one of my favorite books. Ender's Game is a classic. There's also iRobot and the Foundation Series (my name is one of the characters). If you want comedy, there's Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy or Old Man's War. The Dark Tower series (more fantasy) is also killer.
I just finished The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time and it was amazing
Don't know if anyone has suggested it yet, but I HIGHLY recommend "When Breath Becomes Air" by Paul Kalanithi. It's incredible and every medical student should be required to read it.
That's a really good one. Readable in like 2-3 hours too
Let us know how you do!
I read a study a while back that said that retention of information is better with physical books than with e-books. It's basically the only reason I haven't made the switch
will do!
I've been thinking about this but for some reason I really enjoy reading more when I have the actual book. It would be nice to save some money though
Beating up a paperback was always half the fun. I love looking at the torn and wrinkled book after I finished reading. It makes it much more real, like the contents of the book have physically affected the real world.
FTFY
I'd be so screwed. I talk with my hands, body, and facial expressions.
😉 you and me both.
Well there goes my plan of doing my interview solely in interpretive dance. 🙁
