Do You Quit A Book You Don't Like Or Do You Keep Reading?
I’ve never had the desire to finish a book that I don’t enjoy. If a book doesn’t grab me in the first 20 or 30 pages, I’ll put it down. No guilt. But I’ve also put down books after a hundred pages, books I admire, simply because I’m distracted. It’s me, not the book....

The Unexpected Films Of Alfonso Cuarón
Some directors never make the same film twice. They move around between genres, challenging audiences to try to figure out the connections between their very different movies. A great example of this is Alfonso Cuarón, who's made children's movies (A Little Princess), sexy coming-of-age tales (Y Tu ...
