Fans of art and/or military history will enjoy Monuments Men, which I recently finished. It tells the story of a handful of art experts who were tasked with hunting down and preserving the many thousands of priceless pieces of art and cultural heritage stolen by the Nazis during WWII.

in this book the main character is in hell after OD'ing on the same substance.  chicks can't hold their smoke, that's what it is.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep - Phillip K. Dick

I've read this before but I just picked it up recently when I was cleaning out a closet. It's perfect timing cause my girlfriend gave me A Scanner Darkly by him for Christmas!

I just finished The Disaster Artist, a first-hand account of the making of The Room, an incredibly bad, and compelling, film, and also of the crazed man responsible for it.

If you've seen this movie you should read it. If you haven't seen the movie, watch it, then read the book, then watch the movie again.

the Palahniuk book was ok.  That's pretty much how I feel about all his books.  I have the sequel, will probably read it.

I find the subject matter interesting, but I just had to read it after this interview on Fox Noise...

That FN interview is hilarious. From the people who brought you "Jesus is white."

Okay. So when this movie was out a couple years ago, I had several friends in different cities telling me that not only was it the best movie in the world, but that there had never been anything like it before. Real groundbreaking stuff. I was told I had to see it in the theater; so when I missed the chance I was kicking myself.
Nowadays, I'm hearing how it's a complete turd and probably the worst movie ever made and that the writer/protagonist is a self-aggrandizing embarrassment.
I guess my question is - Is it worth watching outside the theater, i.e. in my house?
