Wonder Woman

I didn't want to see the latest "Wonder Woman" movie. Superheroes are not my thing, and I don't like war themes.


OK, I'll be honest: I went for Chris Pine.


I'm glad I did. The movie was superb.

Eligible

What can I say about "Eligible: A modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice" by Curtis Sittenfeld? It's a valiant effort, and an enjoyable lightweight read.


Don't reach for it if:

• You don't like romances;
• You don't like Jane Austen books;
• You're hoping for a book with a message.
