Captain America: Winter Soldier Ultimate Collection by Ed Brubaker, Php1175 at National Bookstores
We have never read a Captain America solo comic book, and having been floored by Captain America: The Winter Soldier, we figured that that storyline is a good starting-point. After our second viewing, the movie has pulled alongside The Avengers as the best of the Marvels: it is funny and laden with in-jokes, its action set pieces—especially the hand-to-hand combat—are genuinely thrilling (As the elevator scene demonstrates, moving bodies are more cinematic than CGI explosions), and Steve Rogers’s humanity shines through. We used to wonder why Captain America was the leader of the Avengers—now we understand.
The Library of Unrequited Love by Sophie Divry, Php335 at National.
They had us at the title. How could we possibly resist a book called The Library of Unrequited Love? If we could, the back cover blurb would silence all objections. Translated from French, original title La Cote 400, and very short.
The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer, Php589 at National.
The Interestings would make a great name for a band. Wolitzer’s novel, one of the best-reviewed in the last year, follows a group of friends from their teens to middle age. We can already imagine the movie and hear its soundtrack.
