Check out my "books to read" collection and make a recommendation. Much obliged.
I've recently started watching The Office. I know! How could I have not seen this show before last month? I don't know. I watch a lot of television, but most of it is animated or involves superheroes (and I don't mean Heroes, either). My brother had a season two disc of The Office from Netflix and he told me I had to watch some of it. So, I did. And now I'm hooked. I've watched the first season (only six episodes) and have just started watching the second season. It's possible that a miracle will occur and I'll watch the third season before the fourth season starts in the Fall.
It's a very funny show. I'm sure you all know this already, as you have all seen it before. But I enjoy making obvious statements when I'm bored. Clearly.
Since I'm bored, I propose we play Desert Island like they do on the show.
My answers:
3 books: Anna Karenina, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and Little Women
5 movies: Secretary, A Bug's Life, Go, The Mummy, and The Mummy Returns
Bonus - "Who would you do?"
Hmm... I'll have to think about this one.
