NFT: If you were quarantined and had only 1 album, book, & movie

The Holy Bible

Goodfellas

Das Kapital

Taxi Driver

My Cousin Vinny for the movie, and right now leaning towards Blue Trout and Black Truffles for the book. Although Simple French Food or The Joy of Cooking would be more utilitarian.

has to be one I enjoy reading again and again.

Dark Side of the Moon...Floyd

The Untouchables...Connery/DeNiro/Costner/Garcia

Just one book...The Spy Who Came in from the Cold

Electric Ladyland. Hendrix
Crime and Punishment. Doskevsky
Monty Python and the holy grail

Brain Salad Surgery ELP
Anglo Saxon Chronicles
Game of Thrones

Album: Darkness on the Edge of Town, Bruce

Book: Tao Te Ching

Movie: Casablanca

Bonus, TV Show: Game of Thrones

Album: Chopin Ballades (any Chopin, really). Second place for a very different mood, especially if I needed to get moving -- the soundtrack to the Big Chill.

Movie: Solaris (Tarkovsky version)

Book: Middlemarch -- on my bucket list and from everything I've read about it -- a gift that keeps giving.

The Stand

The Godfather Part II

Book: The Killer Angels. Movie: It's a Wonderful Life.

You're assuming unlimited cannabis, I assume?

Trading Places (and watch Eddie Murphy's all-time great double take over and over)

when quarantined during the plague. Who amongst us will pen a great piece of work like that?

I think it took me until my third reading at around age 30 to "get" the Oddessey.

For a dyed in the wool humanist and rationalist, as I consider myself mostly, the Oddessey is clearly one of the fundamental tomes of Western Civilization.

For fun I wrote a "book review" of it and showed it to my GF at the time, and she passed it on to her boss who was chair of the English Dept at a prestigious NYC private school.

He loved it, thought I should try to publish it.

Of course I never did...

Sometimes a Great Notion
Apocalypse Now

Album: Boz Scaggs Silk Degrees
