(Part 3) Top products from r/NetflixBestOf

I can't deny that it's a pleasure to watch Hugh Laurie act like an asshole. Just as an aside, he has also authored a truly excellent and hilarious spy novel called The Gun Seller that you should check out if you enjoy reading.

Excellent movie. Probably my favorite Pacino flick after Dog Day Afternoon.

The biography of Serpico by Peter Maas is also very good.

He is a maddening genius. I highly recommend his book Enjoy Your Symptom.

Thanks for the heads up, I had no idea this was on Netflix. Anyone with a serious interest in cinema should watch this. He's probably the most fascinating cultural philisopher alive.

Really? I was really interested when I read that, but I looked and looked, and all info online indicates that the movie was written and directed by Miranda July, and there isn't any record of a book titled "Me and You and Everyone We Know".

The closest I've seen is that portions of the script were included in The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2006, and that Miranda July later released a collection of short stories.

Hmm, I haven't seen Sound City and Throw Down Your Heart so I'll get back to you on that one.

You should calm down about these awards man. I was pretty pissed last year when Inside Llewyn Davis and Spring Breakers (I would've taken anything technical for the latter) got snubbed hard until a friend of mine drew me towards this book. Give it a read and see what you think.

If you're interested in an early history of fast food franchise in America I highly recommend Big Mac. I bought a copy way back in the early eighties and found it fascinating. It doesn't confine itself to just McDonald's but also addresses other fast food chains starting at the time like KFC.

I know this subreddit is for Netflix movies, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to recommend the book [House by Tracy Kidder](House https://www.amazon.com/dp/0618001913/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_mO1OzbDWYDBAM). It covers the process of building a family's house from three perspectives: The family, the designer, and the builder.

Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but exactly ten seconds worth of "searching" Amazon will get you what you want here.

There's a book called "Without Warning", which explores a similar idea where most of the citizens of the United States vaporized by a mysterious force-field.

William Goldman wrote the screenplay. I just finished his book Adventures in the Screen Trade which I can recommend.

I'd also recommend his book The King of the Gypsies,as seen here

Not sure if it's appropriate for this thread and subreddit, but may I suggest a book? I just finished reading The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch and it's a funny, action-packed novel about a gang of thieves in a fantasy world and I already consider it one of my favorite books, it was so much fun to read.

If you want to go absurdly in-depth, this was part of our recommended reading for the course:

If you think it ends too soon, read "This Book Is Full of Spiders: Seriously, Dude, Don't Touch It" which is the sequel to the original book John Dies at the End

Based on the book by Neil Gaiman, read it it's good

Here are three. Knock yourself out!

Contact by Carl Sagan. (Amazon link)

He also wrote a memoir called Kasher in the Rye: The True Tale of a White Boy from Oakland Who Became a Drug Addict, Criminal, Mental Patient, and Then Turned 16.

If you're interested in reading a book with a somewhat similar theme as the movie (who even started the fight? war is not pretty, etc...), I highly recommend The Forever War by Joe Haldeman. It's sort of an anti-Starship Troopers story where the main character is drafted to war rather than volunteering. Still scifi with bizarre alien creatures but, IMHO with a more memorable story.

Here's the book he wrote.

There's also a whole gang of articles about his death from before the documentary came out. Not quite sure why you think the interviews seem staged.
