While Amazon Prime’s movie library comes and goes every month (sometimes churning through dozens of titles), we at Paste have curated our Best Movies on Amazon list with that difficulty in mind. Sure, Amazon has that weird horror movie, or that great film noir, but how in the world are you and your grandmother supposed to know that? Coupled with the counter-intuitive, migraine-inducing browsing, and the service’s penchant for dropping a title unexpectedly only for it to reappear under a different link just as unexpectedly, it makes sense that Amazon’s best film offerings are a little tricky to nail down. Amazon Prime Video is a streaming treasure trove teeming with some of the most esoteric and wonderful underseen movies of the past 80 years, though good selections can feel nearly impossible to cull from the sometimes overwhelming glut of weirdly terrible movies buried in the streamer’s nether regions. ![]() The best movies on Amazon Prime are certainly out there, but finding them can sometimes feel like panning for gold in an endless sea of silt. ![]() ![]() ![]() I try to take in air, but nothing happens. The new life inside me grows louder, stronger, until death fades away and I awake on a gasp. BaBOOM it beats, on and on, until it falls into a quick yet steady rhythm. When it reaches my heart I choke as it comes back to life like a bass drum. I hear a sound, a faucet running, and I realize it’s the blood rushing through my ears. Slowly, it turns from dusk to dawn, awakening my thoughts as the inner light grows brighter and brighter. Tiny flashes of dim light spark in the darkened corners of my mind. ![]() ![]() Without you none of this would be possible.Īnd because of you everything is possible. Thank you so much for reading and for your continued support. Please note that in order to best enjoy Preppy’s books, I recommend reading the other four main books in the KING series first.

More than resembling Morrisey or redoing Dylan, she is the lesbian Leonard Cohen and thank god someone is." You don't say. Her songs are resolutely unhappy and forever mopey. Best moment in the book (for me)? "The lesbian answer to Morrisey's whining, ultra unhappiness is Ferron, the gin-sodden antidote to militantly cheerful folksingers. It has tons of advice for meeting allies and romantic partners, for coming out to parents, friends and co-workers, for regional resources, and for good books, movies and music for women-oriented women (a list that would, today be much, MUCH longer). But if I were a lesbian living in the mid-90's, this book would potentially be a genuine treasure. There are more than a few in-jokes and pop-culture references that went right over my head. It was published in 1996, when the internet was still in its infancy, and gay marriage seemed like an impossible dream. She was a columnist (with Sydney Pokorny). Aside from my being obviously not the target audience, the book's main problem is that it is very dated.

Billy boots Vito out but welcomes in his deepest secret, Gigi, a previously unmentioned teenage daughter from an earlier marriage, who arrives, waiflike, the night of the Oscar party. ![]() At the beginning of Scruples Two, the Oscar comes through and the marriage falls apart, ending in Vito’s obliviousness, Billy’s miscarriage, and divorce. At the end of Scruples, our heroine, Billy Winthrop Orsini, having turned herself from a poor, fat little rich girl into a sleek, sex-craving, inconceivably rich woman who has opened a shopping nirvana called Scruples in Beverly Hills, was pregnant and joyfully awaiting the Oscar about to befall her second husband, ruggedly handsome movie producer Vito Orsini. ![]() ![]() if my pack is not in the mountains, then it is no home for me” (p. ![]() Why does Swift head away from his home territory?

Huxley’s book does not, partly because the technology he envisioned as wild and improbable is already here in many ways. Orwell’s message of the government controlling thought and distorting facts through language resonates more potently than ever today. Huxley’s message, of course, was that sameness crushes free will and imagination, leading to even greater unhappiness than before.Ĭlassic though it is, Brave New World has never had the cultural grip of that other anti-totalitarian warning from the era, George Orwell’s 1984. Everyone is blissfully happy thanks to happiness pills called Soma. Alphas are smart and privileged Epsilons are dim-witted worker bees. ![]() Sameness reigns, in a world where babies are engineered in factories and assigned grades according to their status.

Her home at Well Hall, in Eltham, was a lively hub for young writers, artists and Fabians a place, HG Wells recalled, “to which one rushed down from town at the week-end to snatch one’s bed before anyone else got it”. Vibrantly attractive and adored by her many proteges and readers, she was what they called in those days “advanced” – a committed socialist (she and her husband Hubert Bland were among the earliest members of the Fabian Society) who wore free-flowing clothes, gave charitably and wrote ferociously against poverty, and let her children play barefoot in the garden. ![]() She was in person at once quite awe-inspiring and a bit of a nightmare, able to weather tragedy and yet a queen of melodrama, a self-supporting writer who opposed women’s suffrage. It’s not just that Nesbit’s books are brilliant: her life is also brilliant material for one. ![]() Mrs Bland, as she was known for most of her life (a misnomer if ever there was one), was one of the great children’s writers, responsible for The Railway Children, the Bastable series (which included The Wouldbegoods) and the Psammead series, in which a bad-tempered “sand fairy” livens up the novels Five Children and It, The Phoenix and the Carpet and The Story of the Amulet. ![]() |
