I just finished a book that I totally recommend.  It's called, "The Elegance of the 
Hedgehog."  Written by a French woman Muriel Barbery.  It has everything worth 
thinking about.  Love, death, loneliness, friendship, loss, philosophy, literature.

I read it in translation, as my French is very inadequate and rusty.  If you 
can read it in French, it's probably even better.

The film is called, "The Stoning of Soraya."  As you can tell by the title, 
this is not entertainment.  But it's essential education for Western people about Shari'a 
Law.  I particularly went to see it because I used to be able to watch TVOntario and 
followed the discussion of Muslims with non-Muslims of the desire of the former to have 
the Canadian government allow this kind of law for Muslims in Canada.
