Monday, Monday (once again) RAVALA Time

Hope all the RAVALA members have had a great weekend.

The topic for this week is - “ Have you read/listened to/watched anything out of your usual favorite genre recently? Something that either challenged you or gave you pause or you really loved or hated? If so, what was it and what did you think about it?” For example: I just rewatched "The Departed" and got a lot more from it the second time - the storyline was clearer and the acting amazing - but since neither the violence nor the constant flow of profanity is my cup of tea, it was a struggle to stay with it.

So - hop on the bandwagon and let us hear about your new/different viewing or reading experiences!

I just watched "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" for the first time. It was extremely distorted and really weird. It was hard for me to pay attention because it was so far out there, that it was on one dimension, while I sat on another. At least I can say I've watched it and can give my opinion on it, if it ever comes up in a conversation. By the way, I wouldn't recommend it.

I just finished reading Katie The Real Story by Edward Klein,it was an unauthorized biography.I didn't like it because the book was so negative and the author used most of the quots from people who didn't want to be known.I can't recall that he said anything nice about Katie. From his view Katie is one of the most disliked televison personalities.

I read Scent of Shadows by Vicki Pettersson. I am not usually a fan of "urban science fiction" but I saw it on one of the suggested websites. I probably won't read more of them, but one was interesting.
