    2021 TV Watching.

    Watching Turning Point: 9/11 and the War on Terror, really good. Now they probably should do another episode re Afghanistan plus the soon to be declassified 9/11 documents.

    Guilty Pleasure Books: Tell us yours

    There are plenty of much worse hokums. I give Dan Brown credit on his subjects and plotting, not literary merit. I've read his first 3 books plus The lost Symbol which I hope will be adapted to a movie. I like his intriguing themes, if I have to read a thriller, I would be more interested in...

    Started reading The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis. However good it is, I wouldn't say 'book is always better' in this case because I simply love the TV series too much.

    Watched 2015's film The Danish Girl, an excellently biopic with outstanding acting and cinematography. Now watching Spanish mystery thriller movie The Invisible Guest (2016), looks very promising.

    January 2021 Reading Thread.

    I LOVED that book, may get it out to reread sometime soon. I haven't heard much about her later books if there are any. In my opinion, if you only write one book in a lifetime, write one like that. :)
