"My first big book to read introduced me to the brilliant insanity of a topsy-turvy world that shaped my imagination for life. I learned my brain was the best toy in the whole wide world! Reading is like Alice falling into a hole, where anything can happen. If you’re lucky you can get lost in the right direction."

"“I’m lucky to have spent my childhood in the Middle Ages, or, as Huysmans described it, that ‘painful and exquisite’ epoch—painful in terms of its material aspects, perhaps, but exquisite in its spiritual life. What a contrast to the world of today!” Luis Buñuel always reminds us of what we’re constantly losing in this rotten society."

I was lucky enough to read Queen of Earth & Stone (Crescent Queens #1) by Tricia Meyers the other week. It is a #Fantasy #Romance and her debut novel. I thought I had shared my review, but obviously not! So here it is...

Awesome score
Influential film
Great dialogue
Do you feel lucky punk?
An awesome film that has stood the test of time. It's easy to see how this film has inspired so many cop, action films since. The score is very groovy every time it kicks in. Also one of the most quoted films ever. The best of the Dirty Harry films.

I was lucky enough to see the version that had Sir Patrick Stewart and David Tennant in lead roles, live at Stratford. Sir Patrick was quite difficult to hear at times but David, especially when he got to 'mad Hamlet', stole the stage with his energy. The actor that played Polonius (sorry can't remember who it was) was also excellent.

"I first saw it on TV, one Easter Sunday. I was nine or ten, sick in bed. It made my convalescence so much sweeter (just like the old Lubitsch touch). I also remember Chronique d’Anna Magdalena Bach by Huillet and Straub being aired on a Christmas Day! If you’re this lucky, you’re hooked for life (imagine watching these films on TV nowadays)."
