I'm still reading over this, and I doubt that I like this many things.

Will comment when I have something substantive to add.

"Variety is the spice of life."

I don't remember who said that but I think it's true.
:iconhammerofthorr:
We have Brotherhood of the Wolf, and as I recall it is a movie about a goddess named Monica Bellucci...:)

Seriously though, it's good!
:iconzenistentialdread:
Yeah I love that movie.
:iconsun-seeker:
nice eclectic list
Just been lent season two of Dexter... so visceral!
Authors.. try Jeffery Deaver for crime forensics
and Wally Lamb for angst

:iconzenistentialdread:
Thanks, I've wondered how many look at the list.

I'll have to check them out.

Rereading the "Tales of the Otori" at the moment. It's sort of fantasy espionage inspired by Feudal Japan.
