A friend and I are starting a book & movie club just the two of us. I’m a literature nerd and she’s a film nerd, so once a month I am picking a book and she is picking a film and we will meet to discuss.
To pick the book & movie collection we are alternating picking a theme that will inspire our choices. We want the themes to be very oddly specific, and yet just vague enough, and we can interpret the theme however we want.
For instance my first choice for theme is ‘relativity’, and my choice for the book is ‘Rocannons World’ by Ursula K Leguin, and her movie choice is ‘Roshomon’ (which I haven’t seen yet so no spoilers pls).
I have thought of two more themes: divine will, and otherness.
I would love suggestions on specific themes! We are both science nerds, and there are no limitations or triggers that we’re avoiding. Any genre of movie and book is fair game. Would love some inspiration!
