Future Reading Hopes

I have eight titles by Alice Hoffman on my E-Reader. I hope to read more Yiddish Literature, quality non-fiction, and short stories.

I will be starting a new project soon on the cinema of the team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger in July. I will do an introductory post on this featuring The Red Shoes, from 1948, soon.
