HUST "Wish List": Films, Books, & More

Throughout the semester, we've been accumulating (at least hypothetically) a list of popular culture references that touch on familiar themes from Colloquium III. You might want to return to the list at some point when your Netflix list has run dry or when you're ready for some leisurely reading. Finally, per our conversation today, Jane Austen has, indeed, been "Facebooked."
