Required Reading

The movers are coming on June 19 to pack out our apartment. That's the only thing we actually have finalized right now.

In order to focus on the big positive -- We are moving to San Francisco! -- I've been compiling lists of movies and books about SF. Some I've read and seen already. The rest I'd like to read and see in the near future.

Books:

*On the Road, Jack Kerouac
*Howl, Allen Ginsberg
*A Crack in the Edge of the World, Simon Winchester
*The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, Tom Wolfe
*Tales of the Fish Patrol, Jack London
*The Maltese Falcon, Dashiell Hammett

Movies:
*So I Married an Axe Murderer, with Mike Meyers
*San Francisco, with Clark Gable (coming out on DVD in June!)
*Tales of the City, PBS miniseries
*The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill, documentary
*The Beatles: Liverpool to San Francisco, documentary
*Berkeley in the Sixties, documentary
*and good preparation for any move out to California, the American Experience episode about the Donner Party
