Is This It

The Strokes

This is my (Brett) pick.

I haven't listened to this album personally, but Rolling Stone put it in their ten best of the decade, so let's role with it.

Discussion on this album has mostly been about the lack of originality and the lack of hardship the band has had to overcome (so no depth to the music?) versus "It sounds good so whatever."

Half Nelson

Ryan Gosling, Jeff Lima, Shareeka Epps, and Nathan Corbett




This one is Alex's pick.

Would anyone be willing to get this through netflix and then host a watch party? We could drink too!

The comments on this one discussed the quality of the acting as well as the character's inevitable stations in life.

Wind, Sand and Stars

By Antoine de Saint-Exupery.



This one is Mason's pick. Just based on the comments about the book on Amazon, as you read this book think about What makes life worth living? and What is the value of a human relationship?
