Best of Rereading and Rewatching — 2019

How long's it been since you reread or rewatched these? Pardner, that's too long.

My top picks from last year. In no particular order.

Sita Sings the Blues

A creative delight. The Indian story of The Ramayana told three ways,
all from Rama's wife's point of view ... the titular Sita.

The Lunchbox

Mistaken lunch deliveries connect a young housewife and a widower
when they send each other notes in the lunchbox.

Lootera

Loosely based on an O'Henry story. With redemption in the end.

(My review here.)

Lagaan

Peasants versus the Raj in an epic cricket match.
Charming and a celebration of the human spirit.

The Curse of Chalion

by Lois McMaster Bujold

A bedraggled, galley ship survivor is caught, despite his best efforts to the contrary,
in the middle of royal intrigue. Plus getting errands from the gods.

Paladin of Souls

by Lois McMaster Bujold

Sequel to Curse of Chalion, from Ista's point of view. Maybe even better than the first book.

The Killer Angels

by Michael Shaara

Simply amazing in communicating the humanity, flaws, errors, and brotherhood of these men fighting at Gettysburg ... and the tragedy of the battle.
(My review here.)

Andrea Vernon and the Corporation for Ultrahuman Protection

by Alexander C. Kane

Mixing the workplace, romance, and superheroes. Andrea sees all the action from behind-the-scenes at a corporation which manages their contracts and assignments. Which is very funny indeed.

Mockingbird

by Walter Tevis

In the 25th century robots do all the work and no one can read. Paul has discovered how to read and this changes everything. There's no way to really describe this book well. Read my review and then read it for yourself.
