I was reading this blog post by Roger Ebert about voting for the ten greatest films of all time and how he was adding The Tree of Life to his list for Sight & Sound magazine. I always change my mind, I am unreliable, etc. Also, I know I said i wouldn't read this book because of how early it was optioned for television and yet here I am reading it anyway. And from what I can tell so far, it's going to make a perfect CW show-love triangle, girl defined by her romantic prospects and interests, and also treated as property! I have some major issues with it, but even so there are some kind of interesting ideas in it that I'm curious to see if she fleshes out. The world makes no sense to me, but it's easy reading, I'll give it that. I'm currently reading The Selection which is a totally absurd book. But if that's what you want to be reading about, I recommend this post and this post for good words and updates.
