DAVID CRONENBERG
Don't forget about The Brood! Potentially Cronenbergs most visceral. It's about a doctor's new psychosomatic treatment in which recovery from psychological trauma involves the trauma expressing itself through physical manifestation. This gets taken to the extreme when the horrors of the trauma are literally birthed by a women.

You guys are forgetting about R.A.P. Music by Killer Mike
Unless this was sarcasm, I don't see how this appeals to you more than m.A.A.d city. Please elaborate.

I just wanted to say, I started watching this recently and it's fantastic. But you all already knew that because I am like a decade behind on good TV.
That's awesome! What season/episode are you on?

Fuck, this can't really compete with the other cover but it bothers me every time it pops up:  This whole series of covers is terrible. What the fuck is up with the colors and typography!? Also, "HENRY Miller"!? You got to be fucking kidding me. If I didn't know better I would've thought that this was 'shopped joke for god knows what reason.

Are there any History or Poli Sci students that could recommend good introductory texts to Contemporary Australian Politics or an introductory overview of South American Politics?

Italo Calvino - If upon a winter's night a traveler
If anyone hasn't read it, it essentially explores the relationship between an author, a reader, and the text among other things. I really needed the blunt dynamic to understand that there was more to the lit. game than just thematic analysis, character development, and symbolism. Now, I pretty much hate lit. discourse because it obscures the very things I abandoned (that's not true, I still really love it).
