  1. The Idle Book Club 8: Cosmicomics

    I really have to recommend "Invisible Cities" to everyone. I have read "Cosmicomics" and "If On a Winters Night a Traveller" and it's still my favourite. Maybe it was the translations I read but I found "Invisible Cities" to have a far more flowing and beautiful style than the other two. The language in "Cosmicomics" seemed very simple and even stark to me in comparison. Still I really enjoyed "Cosimicomics" I first read it quite quickly because I was borrowing it but I might have to pick it up and re-read it now.
  2. Movie/TV recommendations

    How about this? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108394/ As long as you don't mind the fact that it's in French it might be right up your alley. Even if it's not what you're looking for its a good movie and I recommend it. Edit: Just remembered "Last Life in the Universe". Great movie and it has a kind of muted atmosphere like "Melacholia" . Again it's foreign in case that's a deal breaker. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0345549/ I have probably seen stuff that is what you're looking for I just cant remember any right now.
