![]() And if you took my favorites away from me - the Back to the Future and Indiana Jones trilogies, ‘Home Alone,’ ‘Princess Bride,’ ‘The Goonies,’ ‘When Harry Met Sally,’ ‘Sleepless in Seattle,’ ‘Jurassic Park,’ ‘War Games,’ ‘Die Hard’ - I would be cinematically bereft. Most of my ‘comfort food’ movies - the ones I watch over and over again, the ones that I keep downloaded on my phone or laptop, the ones I never tire of - come from this time period. In this period of relative peace and prosperity, post-Vietnam and Watergate, pre-9/11, movies could be unfettered fun. Advances in technology were making for interesting premises, but hadn’t advanced to the point where it would interfere with the story (seriously, half of all pre-2000s movies wouldn’t have existed, because their plots could be solved in minutes if someone had a cell phone/the internet/a GPS). ![]() It was a sweet spot when the blockbuster was taking off, but special effects hadn’t gotten to the green-screen fest we’re now mired in every summer movie season. But the ’80s and ’90s were also just an amazing time for movies. ![]() Perhaps this was inevitable, since I’m a child of the ’80s and these were the movies that I watched, and loved, in my formative years. In many ways, and more than any of my other books, ‘Save the Date’ is an homage to some of my favorite movies from the ’80s and ’90s. What I get asked the most about while touring for my newest novel, ‘Save the Date,’ is inspiration, and if I was inspired by pop culture. ![]() ![]() ![]() Until he discovers the rules have changed, and he must decide to let her go or give her full access to his well-guarded life.Īs the two take a journey of discovery, secrets are revealed, which test the strength of their connection.

The Design of Everyday Things is a powerful primer on how - and why - some products satisfy customers while others only frustrate them. Donald Norman The Design of Everyday Things (New York: Basic Books, 2002), 32. The goal: guide the user effortlessly to the right action on the right control at the right time. The rules are simple: make things visible, exploit natural relationships that couple function and control, and make intelligent use of constraints. The Design of Everyday Things shows that good, usable design is possible. ![]() The problems range from ambiguous and hidden controls to arbitrary relationships between controls and functions, coupled with a lack of feedback or other assistance and unreasonable demands on memorization. The fault, argues this ingenious - even liberating - book, lies not in ourselves, but in product design that ignores the needs of users and the principles of cognitive psychology. ![]() Which is fine: the sounds are not needed for fast-moving vehicles because then the tire noise is audible.

In Look at Me, the image-driven world of high fashion and an eerily prescient satirical vision of American culture form the contours of her narrative. In The Invisible Circus, it’s the personal aftermath of a violent call to revolution experienced in the Europe of the ’60s. In terms of both subject and approach, Egan brings a seemingly insatiable appetite for experimentation and inquiry to her work, and with each book that she writes, she invites her readers to join her in an excavation of strange and uncharted new worlds. There are many writers who describe their writing as a process of discovery, but there are few who have followed this exploratory impulse across such a vast and ranging literary terrain as Jennifer Egan. ![]() ![]() ![]() So reading “Himawari House” by Harmony Becker was one of those books where I enjoyed seeing others do what I never did, even if their reasons and experiences would have been wholly different from my own had I taken the leap.
