I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I did like the book quite a bit.
Unrelated: I’ve been posting much less here for the past few weeks. I felt I needed time to figure out what exactly I want to record on here, and what would make this blog worthy of being read. I’m still figuring things out, but I have some thoughts.
