Books & Movies

Ross is reading Tree of Smoke by Dennis Johnson and he really likes it.

I saw previews for these movies the other day and they looked pretty intriguing:

• Farewell
• MicMacs
• Winter's Bone
• Coco & Igor

Coco & Igor is about a romance between Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky, which happened in the early 20th Century. I had heard of both of them but I had no idea they were contemporaries, much less romantically involved. I thought Igor was from the time of Beethoven and Bach and all those guys. Of course this is a movie, so it could all be made up and these two were not contemporaries and could not have known each other, much less been making moon eyes.
