1. The Garden of Eden, by Ernest Hemingway. I have been wanting to read something by Hemingway for the last month or so. I made the mistake of letting a woman at a bookstore in Decatur convince me that the Garden of Eden was where I should start. I am pretty sure this is a book about nothing. Nothing except for some weird relationship between a husband, a wife, and some other random girl. The relationships are odd, the story is boring, and there doesn't seem to be any point whatsoever. I rarely stop reading a book halfway through, but this one might force my hand. I will probably finish it, but it is going to be really painful. To put that into perspective, the last book I stopped reading halfway through was Dianetics, The Modern Science of Mental Health. I finished that one, eventually, but it was a little like nails on the chalkboard for a week. To sum that one up, we all have weird recordings (not memories) and we have to "clear" them in order to be high functioning. This includes "recordings" from before conception. Yes, that's right, before conception, not birth. Google around on that one if you don't believe me.
2. The Changeling (Film). This is actually a well done film. The acting is good, the story is interesting, and the direction is spot on, even the cinematography is good, and I don't even know what cinematography is. However, it has to be the most depressing movie I have ever seen. I rarely cringe during movies but with my first child on the way this one hit home quite a bit. If you like true crime dramas with unfulfilling and depressing stories about how everyone on Earth is evil, then this one is for you.
