The Reading Life Review - Part Two Movies i watched in January

The Reading Life is a 15 Year Old Book Blog committed to the values of literary globalism.


Our very international readership includes MacArthur Genius Grant Winners, researchers from the Vatican Library, faculty and staff from Universities world wide, publishing industry professionals, and teenage book lovers as was I was in the long ago.


Short Stories, Irish literature, Classics, Modern Fiction, Yiddish Literature,Contemporary Literary Fiction, The Japanese Novel, Post Colonial Asian Fiction, Jewish History, The Legacy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and quality Historical Novels are Among my Interests. I also read narrative nonfiction.


In July of last year I began doing posts on some of the movies I streamed.
