That is precisely why I choose to ask you here. I'd read more books if life wasn't always getting in the way.
I read "Ender's Game" a while back at the recommendation of Nathan and it was okay. He just made me see the movie, and it was a good representation of what I remember. I am not tempted to continue the series, which I hear gets really strange anyway.
Since I brought up movies, some recent viewings come to mind: "Interstellar" I enjoyed, "the Giver" was well done (loved the book in college), "About Time" was surprisingly touching.
I haven't kept up with the "night at the museum" movies, but they seem like fun. Like "the mixed-up files of Mrs. basil e. Frankwieler".
As for reading, I'm taking comfort in reading some oldies. "Ella minnow pea", an epistolary lipogram, and "pride and prejudice".

Old friend.
We haven't talked books and movies
in ages.
What are you enjoying lately?

I still agree with this post.
Plus,
it's kinda apropos.
You'd be ashamed at my lack of reading in the past year or so.
Right now, I'm reading "Ender's Game."
I like it.
You?
I saw Night at the Museum 3 with #3 last month.
It was good
but
morose (To me. For non-obvious reasons.).
What movies do I need to see?

Good movies to put in the queue.
Forgot The Giver had come out.
Did you ever read the other books in that series?
Night at the Museum (the first) became a fast favorite of the kids.
Who would have thunk it?
So we've kept up since.
I really have to force some things out of the way
and read more.
How about music?
I've been listening to Sufjan's new album
