Books
Skippy Dies, Paul Murray: How did I hang in for 700 pages? Well-written, occasionally funny but frequently depressing novel set in Irish boys school. There's more cruelty among the boys than from their teachers.
The Sea, John Banville: Widower's visit to seaside home triggers memories and mysteries. Well done. Keep the dictionary handy.
Secret Scipture, Sebastian Barry: Very elderly woman who has spent most of her life in a mental institution tells her story. Not ill at all. Kind of a mystery too.
The Light of Day, Graham Swift: Ex-cop turned private eye falls in love with one of his cuckolded clients. Teases with mystery, but twist never comes...unless I missed it.
Movies
Blue Jasmine, Woody Allen: Boring. Unpleasant. Cartoonish. Worse than the last Woody. No mas.
