Happy Easter to Everyone...

From Mary...

• Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum is an extraordinary story told from two perspectives years apart.  Takes place in Germany during WWII and in America, in the present.  Well worth the read.

• The Insider with Russell Crowe and Al Pachino.  Released in 1999, the true story of big tobacco company power and how money and influence can crush those who fight against lies and manipulated data.  Compelling story!

From Liz...

• The Tudors - Liz recommended this to me (Leslie) and we have been enjoying almost every night.  Television series is available on disc through Netflix and at our local library.  Much better than the reality shows that overrun basic cable programming today.

 

From Pat...

• The LaCuna by Barbara Kingsolver
• Strange Fits of Passion by Anita Shreve
• Night by Elie Wiesel  - enjoyed by both Pat and Elizabeth

Gotta Sees

From Kathy...

• It's Complicated

From Liz...

• Mr. Holland's Opus 

"I forgot how good Mr. Holland's Opus was! Definite must see for anyone who hasn't seen it.

From Les...

• Infamous
• Capote 

Above titles are set during the time Truman Capote was researching Clutter murders for In Cold Blood.

From Mary...

• Rome

Met for lunch yesterday and Mary again raved about this TV series available on disc through Netflix.  Very explicit scenes and adult content.

For all you music lovers out there...

Liz brought this link to my attention.  Apparently one of her Elementary Ed Profs used it to open the semester.

Enjoy!
