Listening to La Belle Sauvage, by Philip Pullman, read by Michael Sheen. So good!
• What did you recently finish reading?
Becoming, by Michelle Obama. She is awesome and so is her husband, but I like him less after reading about his marriage proposal. He takes her out to a nice restaurant, provokes her to argue with him about whether they should get married, then, at dessert, has the waiter bring the ring. Also he has already asked her mother and brother's consent. What a way to say, "You can talk all you want, but it doesn't make any difference; I decide what you get and when you get it."
But some people think that sort of thing is romantic. Maybe I'm misinterpreting? No.
• What do you think you’ll read next?
Milkman, by Anna Burnsm for library book group, and Invisible Man, by Ralph Ellison, for classics book group.
• What are you watching?
Us, which was beautiful to watch, but doesn't hold together to think about.
The Man in the White Suit, on Kanopy. Sovay talks about it here: https://sovay.dreamwidth.org/334669.html
A Simple Plan, also on Kanopy.

He was smiling. He'd completely surprised me. In a way, we'd both won. "Well," he said lightly, "that should shut you up."
