Recommendation meme attempt!


I would love to hear from each and every person inclined one

1. Book (or story or poem or comic or collected works of an author or anything otherwise printed or printable)

2. Movie (or tv show or youtube video or otherwise viewable)

and

3. Song (or album or symphony or whistle or otherwise hearable)

that they wished many more people understood were wonderful, or maybe more wonderful than they already thought.


Got none of my own this time, just fishing for new experiences or productive revisions of old ones.

I just found the two-volume selected poems of Gwendolyn MacEwen on betterworld. It's poorly organized so far (table of contents is in the back? damn Canadians). But I know so little about her and what I know makes me want to know more.

How about play. I just read Woyzeck. Or, I read a version of Woyzeck, since there is no final Woyzeck. A friend of mine was in a terrible production/adaptation of it a few years back and I can sense he wants to try to do a better one in the future and wants me involved. He once said it's the Hamlet of the 20th century and it was written in the 19th century.

Elbow is still the band I can put on repeat when I need to think.

I think Woyzeck's my least favorite Buchner thingie but I still like it. He couldn't send a postcard without rewriting Hamlet.

Been curious aboutMcEwan, who was emerita here; the faculty were sad when she died.
