Books, movies, music; what's in your top 5 right now?
Top 5 books:
- The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini - This is a great book that follows the life of an Afghani boy/man and how a choice he made as a boy affected his life. Great character development. It was hard to put down. This is a must read.
- The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson - A great historical novel about the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago and a serial murderer who is believed to have killed up to 200 murders. Based on fact. Spellbinding.
- The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory - The story about Mary Boleyn, Anne Boleyn's younger sister who was the mistress to Henry VIII before Anne married him. A romantic tale but compelling.
- The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger - This is a pleasant read. This is a love story between a man who time travels within his own life span and the woman whom he meets when she is a child and marries when she is an adult.
Top 5 movies:
- The Departed - I walked out with the feeling, "wow, that was a movie!"
- The Illusionist - Very well crafted and a joy to watch
- The Prestige - Good plot and acting
- The Chronicles of Narnia - I watched this in HD on Starz and was blown away.
- DeLovely - On DVD - Great music and acting. The extras on the DVD are great.
Top 5 music:
- Snow Patrol Eyes Open - My favorite new band right now. I love this album, especially Chasing Cars.
- ColdPlay X&Y - This is by far the best album by ColdPlay. I listen to this all the time in my car.
- Avril Lavigne Let Go - I enjoy listening to Avril. I love the song Complicated.
- Howie Day Stop All The World Now - Features The Perfect Time of Day and Collide. Great album.
Today I spent working on my computer, downloading programs and music. My pick of music today is Snow Patrol. I listened to both albums, Eyes Open and Final Straw. I love the song Chasing Cars (listen below)
.
When I am on the computer "I just forget the world." I love Gary Lightbody's voice. I just float from song to song enjoying every last note.
If you haven't listened to Snow Patrol they are definitely worth checking out. Listen to the clips on Amazon to get a feel. If you like Adult Alternative music I think you will fall in love with Snow Patrol.
