I am a devourer of books. Thank you for the titles so far ... let's keep them coming!
Miss Smilla's Sense of Snow ... very good choice, a great mystery with an unusual setting. I very much enjoyed the movie too ...
A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch by Sohlzhenitsen (sp?) is compelling and frightening
There are so many well written SF novels by Herbert, Heinlein, Aasimov, Clarke, et al, we could be here forever, so I'll propose a collection of short stories:
A Boy and His Dog by Harlan Ellison
To the play list, two nominees:
Equus
Sleuth I think that's the right one - a mystery tale
Gawd, my mind has gone blank!
Movies that are not as well known as they should be:
M. Butterfly
The Red Violin
Smilla's Sense of Snow
Le roi danse
More! more! more!
