Fascinated

Disclaimer: This is not a review of Beautiful Creatures.

Watch the movie! What to expect: charming jock Ethan Wate's (gamely played by Alden Ehrenreich) sexy mind because he's one guy who adheres to the power of literature -- people, a dude in Jenna Lyons-ish reading glasses who freakin' reads! -- as he has read classics that present unconventionality like OnThe Road and Catcher In The Rye; Emmy Rossum's Ridley's campy moments

and what the teen-in-me would always like: supernatural and magic.

With the literary references and the dichotomy of traditional versus modern presented in the film adaptation, I have made a mental note to read a book by the less-familiar to me Kurt Vonnegut (i.e. Slaughterhouse-Five), or maybe the more-familiar Ayn Rand, whose The Romantic Manifesto I browsed a couple of times inside a bookstore while killing time.
