Book Rating

I was sure I’d read Dubliners before - possibly during my English Literature A Level, but I couldn’t remember what the stories were about. They really give the reader a feel of what life must have been like at the turn of the last century in Ireland. They’re not all ‘pretty’ stories either. We see alcoholism (or at least heavy drinking that impacts life and family), poverty, suicide, missed opportunities and hard decisions. So, normal life for a lot of people.
I now wonder if I should go back and reread one of his novels?
Many thanks to The Pigeonhole for serialising this book.

Life is like a box of chocolates

Classic film, everyone in the world should see this atleast once in their lives. Tom Hanks is just amazing, the story is fantastic, the direction is top quality and all in all, a perfect family film.

I really enjoyed this book. It give different views of members of a family and how they view other members and their life. It's interesting to see how the Taliban changed things, and how things changed post-Taliban. It is also interesting to read about the female-male difference, in responsibility and view.

Movie Favorite

"A Senegalese woman moves to Antibes to work for a white family. I’ll give you one guess as to how that goes. Her life in France is totally oppressive and not at all romantic. At just under an hour the film plays out like a Greek tragedy. Lyrical and elegant and pointed."
