I finished reading The Spider's House by Paul Bowles yesterday. It was quite good. While reading it I was liking it but not sure how much I'd like it. The end was really really good and it heightened all the characterizations and relationships throughout the book. It does a good job of overlapping different beliefs of different characters but within different context and results, so there are some core ideas that are shared around but with different motives and outcomes, etc. Also it paints a conflicted world where no one's right and no one's completely wrong. I'm doing a bad job of explaining but whatever. Also last night Mary Beth and I watched The Look of Silence (the follow-up/companion to The Act of Killing). I thought it was really good. I mean, it sort of fills the negative space outlined by the first movie. So it's not nearly as audacious and what-the-fuck as the other (and of course it's not trying to be like that), but it's good in, I guess, having the other side of the coin, maybe. I think that's about it for what I've got.
