The news of the day and hour makes me ill, but I still read it. I wonder if it's because I'm looking for the good news? And I don't mean tiny fluff news stories. It seems to me there's tons of good things happening on the community level by so many organizations and groups having to continually adapt to diminishing budgets (education and youth agencies) while the 'news' is about city and national government and their lack of ethics, responsibility, screw-ups. At least you have the style and book sections!
I love Frida! I read the book before I saw the movie and was blown away by both. When you're done and if you're still in the Frida mood, you may want to read The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver. (http://www.harpercollins.com/books/The-Lacuna-Barbara-Kingsolver/?isbn=9780060852573) It's historical fiction, and a great read!
