Alexandre Dumas' "The Man In The Iron Mask"

Do not mistake this for the Leonardo Dicaprio movie. The book is about a kazillion times better. It combines the conflict between the finest sword fighters of France (Musketeers for those of you who don't know what I am talking about) with some suprisingly colourful history. It is a tale that is flamboyant, daring, and beautifully adventurous.

And on top of that, it is Alexandre Dumas, who is a brilliant writer to say the least.

Duchess Tapioca:
The 5th Muskateer - Okay first, where the hell did the 4th come from? This movie is actually pretty annoying, it's okay though! Even though the movie is rated PG, they show one of the lady's breasts 3 times. The actress had to have done it on purpose, there's no way it was in the script. She just said to her self "Well, I'm in this crappy movie, my voice is terribly irritating, and this dress makes my butt 5 feet wide. I guess I'll have to show everyone my tits."

I guess the guy who plays the prince/5th muskateer is pretty ammusing. So anyways, go check that movie out from your local public library.

Movies:
Blade Runner
 Think like, old Film Noir, set in the world of star wars, not make it rain a bunch and add some Androids with moratlity issues and you've got blade runner.

Dr. Strangelove...
...or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.  Ever see fail safe? yeah well, This movie is kind of like that (Nuclear attact accidentaly ordered against USSR, no way to recall it), except everyone is played by peter sellers, and Slim Pickins rodeo's and atomic bomb straight to hell


Books,
Still Life With Woodpecker, Tom Robbins
I must say, I'm not a big romance novel reader, but this one isnt a typical romance novel (The main characters are a princess from a nonexistant kingdom and an international terrorist with an effinity for dynamite).  It explores teh hidden meaning of a pack of camel cigarretes, the moon, and the problem of redheads.

The Song of Roland, Unknown
This magically appeared on my Bookshelf, so I natrually had to read it, Its a poem (like the Oddesy) from 11th century france, the author is unknown, but its a beauitfully written peice of medieval literature.  Much battle and funtimes.

est:
i've already deleted two posts in here where people give recommendations without any kind of reasoning.  an unexplained recommendation is totally useless.

McTaggart:
Both The Collector by John Fowles (which you probably read for english in school) and A Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon made me think. I think they helped me appreciate other people's opinions more, definately a lesson people should learn. They're also both written differently to a lot of what I've read. I love it when that happens.
