I have been reading 5001 Nights at the Movies over the past several months, alternating between that and The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.
I am also reading multiple other books in between, but wanted to make sure I finish both of these.
I love 5001 Nights at the Movies, as it is not about the 'best' movies ever made, as these giant omnibuses often are, she reviews the bad along with the good, and is frequently hilarious. I will post some quotes sometime, when I figure out where the best place on here for that is.
I have just bought a book on the issues with translations of Perrault's fairy tales, with new translations, and am reading Angela Carter's book of (usually macabre) tales from around the world, while reading the Grimm Brothers. I’m in that kind of mood at the moment.
I'm reading the Kael on my Kobo and the Reich on my Kindle, which is working for me. All the fairy tale books are on my kindle, which might be why I haven’t opened the Reich book for a while. I also wanted a break from the Nazis over the festive season.
