I'd have suggested Leaving Las Vegas (1995), but it is grim for most parts. Cage won an Oscar for it.

In the past, I've hated a lot of sci-fi classics for various reasons but mostly because I found the setting and the way the story was told to be unappealing. I found it very hard to read Frankenstein, which is considered to be a pioneer in sci-fi classic. I feel it is okay to dislike acclaimed books if it doesn't appeal to you. My preferences matter to me more than what the world recommends as a great book.

I feel The Stand by Stephen King is a pretty solid post apocalyptic book. It is so apt for the times that we live in. Apart from that, I think the Bird Box movie is also based on a post apocalyptic book.

I am not a big fan of classics but I recently read William Goldling's Lord of the Flies. It is fantastic!

I hope they stop after season 4. They have been stretching the same story for too long.

Well I did learn Spanish few years ago. In order to keep in touch with Spanish, I used to study Spanish flashcards. But now I just don't find the time.

Oh I have started and quit so many books. But one book that I am thankful for not quitting was The Alchemist. It was only about 180 pages but I just couldn't read it for a long time. I found it boring but somehow when I reached to the conclusion of the book, I ended up loving it!!

I recently read the classic Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and I seriously couldn't understand why it is considered such a great book. It is a good read but nothing exceptional.
