The Post About The Rabbit Recommends v.74

Each weekend, I post a readable, a watchable, and a listenable of which I'm fond. You can choose what happens next. Earlier volumes can be found here.

Read

To Kill a Mockingbird turns 50 today and it remains one of my favorites. Its characters are both intense and fragile and the story still resonates. I want to eat Mexican with Harper Lee. Stalking made possible by living in the same state.

Watch

I'm encouraging you to watch something I've not seen. I'm confident it's worth the risk. Director Christopher Nolan, who's behind the extraordinary Memento and my favorite Batman, directed this brainy flick starring Leonardo DiCaprio, from Growing Pains fame. As of today, It has 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Plus, I like movies that make you furrow your brow. And the trailer has me needing botox stat.

Listen

The David Crowder Band is either a love or a hate. I think most of the hate for DCB is directed at David's hair, which I acknowledge. Their latest album, Church Music, is a keeper. Especially this cover of Flyleaf's All Around Me.

  1. Oh, how I love To Kill A Mockingbird too. I need to get it out and reread it.

  2. I changed my profile picture to pay homage to David Crowder's hair. You sir are a trend setter. I can only hope to bring my hair to your heights!

  3. I read "The Lord of the Flies" over the weekend. It's essentially "To Kill a Mockingbird" on an island with schoolboys and dead pigs, and a dead Piggy. Maybe it's nothing like "To Kill a Mockingbird".

  4. MH: It always feels new when I revisit it!

    SSS: Fabulous. How great would it be if we all tried the "Crowder?"

    J: I'm glad you could work through that.
