Hello, everyone! ^_^ Hope you are all well! I've been in the middle of a move, so I've been on at odd times and I apologize for not being able to regularly reply to everyone.
Okay, so, today I want to talk about my New Year's resolution. This year, instead of doing the normal resolution of exercising more or giving up soda pop, I decided to do something a bit different. In the past few years, I've been on the internet more and more - and I've been neglecting watching movies and reading, which are two of my favorite pastimes.
In order to make sure I pick these hobbies back up, I swore to read 15 books I'd never read before and watch 25 movies I've never seen before. The movies should be easy...the books...well, that's more than most people read in a few years.
So far, I've accomplished a big fat zero on my book list. I have a few set aside, including Crowley, de Sade, and Orwell. I only have about six or seven books laid aside, so any recommendations would be AWESOME. (I'm into fantasy and mystery, but I'm also wanting to focus on classics!)
As for movies - as sad as this is - I've only watched four. These are Frankenweenie, Hotel Transylvania, Django Unchained, and Argo. However, on my back burner are Silver Linings Playbook, M, Salo, Caligula, The Holy Mountain, Irreversible, I Stand Alone, and Repulsion. I'll pretty much try any movie once (and the odder is is, the better), so hit me with your best shot!
Once I get a few more under my belt, I'll start an official list and keep track on here!

Replusion is a fantastic film! I watched it during my Polanski phase a few months ago. The Ninth Gate with Johnny Depp isn't bad either. Been meaning to watch Irreversible for a while now, but since Uni started I think you'll beat me to it.
