Recs for a Gemini Sun, Virgo Moon and Scorpio Rising

Book: The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon
Paranoid, clever, restless and full of hidden systems. Absolutely perfect for Gemini curiosity, Virgo pattern-recognition and Scorpio suspicion.

Book 2: The Driver’s Seat by Muriel Spark
Short, strange, precise, darkly funny and psychologically unnerving (to say the least).

Backup: The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood

Film: The Headless Woman
Austere, strange, suspicious and somewhat opaque. Good fit for this big three’s obsession with what happened, what was noticed, what was missed and what people are choosing not to say.

Film 2: The Double Life of Véronique
Mysterious, symbolic, observant, sensual, and uncanny. This is less procedural and more intuitive Scorpio.

Backup: Zodiac

Album: Jenny Hval — Classic Objects
Cerebral, intimate, eerie, self-aware and unsettling. Gemini/Virgo in its analysis of language, identity and performance, with Scorpio’s sense that something charged is just beneath the surface.

Album 2: Colossal Youth — Young Marble Giants
Minimal, cool, tense, precise, and strange. Emotionally withholding in a way that I feel fits this trio.

Backup: 154 — Wire
