Blake Crouch | 2016 | Fiction & Poetry

"This thriller is among the most exciting novels I have read recently. I read it in two days. It really gets you thinking about the idea that there are other versions of ourselves who took a different path. Blake also wrote the original novellas of my TNT show, “Good Behavior.”"

"Off the top of my head I’ll say Down by Law, the Jim Jarmusch movie with Tom Waits and John Lurie and Roberto Benigni. It just has sort of a weird sense of humour and it’s a bit of a road movie itself. It’s original in a really cool way."

The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special (2020)
2020 | Action, Animation
Watched on Disney + just to see if it was better than a certain holiday special that some people wish didn't exist namely George Lucas. it's good it's funny family entertainment which makes the original holiday special a total waste of rubbish and I've never seen it which I'm relieved to say

"This was such a surprise. I had never heard of this film. The premise is original and poignant, and the performance by the little girl is mind-blowing. It is about the power that movies can hold over us. It delivers the wonders of childhood and the saving grace of imagination."

Only Margaret Atwood could take Shakespeare's "The Tempest" and turn it not only into a truly modern piece of art, but also include a rendition of the original play, in the most surprising way. Read my review of this rollicking novel here

Jeff Bezos recommended Memos from the Chairman in Books (curated)

 
Memos from the Chairman
Memos from the Chairman
Alan Greenberg | 1996 | Business & Finance, Humor & Comedy
(0 Ratings)
Book Favorite

"A collection of memos to employees by the chairman of the now defunct investment bank Bear Stearns. In his memos, Greenberg is constantly restating the bank’s core values, especially modesty and frugality. His repetition of wisdom from a fictional philosopher presages Amazon’s annual recycling of its original 1997 letter to shareholders."

Rolling Stone's 357th greatest album of all time
Forgettable album by Jagger et al. I listened to the original issued version, rather than the US version which included "Lets Spend the Night Together" and "Ruby Tuesday", which certainly would have helped. Without these, there is very little to remember here.
