Books and their genres are a lot like people: There’s something for everyone. Because we don’t all share the same tastes or interests, there is no genre that is less important than any other, no matter the popularity. Every book is someone’s favorite. Taylor Bui is a pre-law senior majoring in history and political science. His top five is a mix of popular and unusual tastes.
American novelist James Baldwin once said, “Know from whence you came. If you know whence you came, there are absolutely no limitations to where you can go.” Baldwin’s words perfectly capture the tales told by Thaao Penghlis in his memoir, “Places.” In his memoir, Penghlis, an actor best known for his roles on “General Hospital” and “Days of Our Lives,” tells the story of a young Greek-Australian man who had no plans outside of working as an Immigration Official at the Commonwealth Center in Sydney, Australia, but dreamed of traveling the world. On the word of a fortuneteller, Penghlis quits his job, leaves his family and begins his journey to climb Mt.

Indie film “The One I Love” may have attracted attention at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, but it doesn’t live up to the hype. Instead, this movie clearly demonstrates that the Rotten Tomatoes/Metacritic system is broken. “The One I Love”? More like “The One I Shove” in front of a bus. It’s an abysmal movie; don’t see it.
