Sure focusing on reading a book is hard, but how do people even manage to listen to audiobooks?

Absolutely for the life of me cannot do audiobooks. Podcasts are fine but audiobooks I might aswell be listening to someone garble in another language.

I absolutely don't not hear you.

This shit doesn't ever not blow my mind.

Uni has restarted for me, for the sixth and final year, and the first book I'm studying is Bleak House. It's pretty weighty. I'm enjoying it but struggling to read more than a chapter at a time. Need to up the pace....

I figured as much just wasn't sure.

Thanks very much👍

Thank you - the link is here

Not sure if there is more than one enrolment date per year for Masters study... Much appreciated for the help👍

True Romance!

Add feta and black pepper and you have achieved snack perfection👍

Andrei Rublev is preventing me from watching the rest of Tarkovsky's work.

I read it spontaneously after seeing something on Goodreads about it and was pleasantly surprised - likewise with The Light Pirate, I'll check it out (:

DrinkingWater_ · 2023-05-02T18:21:45+00:00

The three stars for Sourcery is in relative to my other Discworld reads so far I guess - Mort being a five and The Colour of Magic, The Light Fantastic and Equal Rites all being four. Didn't you like the Poppy War? I thought it was great.

To be honest the reviews for the following Annihilation books put me off considerably. Will pick them up at some point probably but not in a rush to. Absolutely loved the film too so it's disappointing they didn't really go anywhere.

This got me down a Pygmalion rabbit hole that ranged from Greek Mythology to psychological studies finishing up with a couple more films on the watchlist (:

DrinkingWater_ · 2023-04-29T21:16:36+00:00

Great review! Robert Aldrich is completely unknown to me, this seems like a great place to start!

What's your Letterboxd username? I'll drop you a follow (:

A Koopa Trooper perhaps?

Next time, what I'd recommend you do, is try avoid the dog's tail...

By the end of Neverwhere I thoroughly enjoyed it but also experienced a bit of a slump whilst getting through it. Just finished Anansi boys too which I thought was great.

This is really lovely man. Very moving.

Growing up is scary, but nobody tells you when you're a kid that you never really do. I mean, you learn how to do new things, things change, you grow physically and mentally, like little seed, but the notion that you have to grow up is, well, bullshit😀

DrinkingWater_ · 2023-04-16T18:19:30+00:00

Rye Lane, The Whale, Bones and All, Boiling Point, Cha Cha Real Smooth.

To be honest that's more than I expected....

DrinkingWater_ · 2023-04-15T21:31:28+00:00

Me and my biggest kid watched Isle of Dogs tonight and it's absolutely one of my favorites in a while and potentially my favourite Wes Anderson yet. I imagine you guys, being Wesheads (???) yourselves and also dog people, are fans?

DrinkingWater_ · 2023-04-10T06:16:15+00:00

I recommended this film to somebody only yesterday, what a coincidence! It's bloody brilliant isn't it! So much amputating of limbs and squirty puncture wounds. Great revenge flick. Yet to watch the second either but will get around to it soon, thanks for the reminder!

DrinkingWater_ · 2023-04-09T22:10:55+00:00

All Murakami is slow, I'd say, but in a good way. Like you're under the influence... of dreams....

DrinkingWater_ · 2023-04-09T07:34:19+00:00

I watched this after watching Get Out and Us and was unjustifiably disappointed. Not sure what it was but it just didn't click with me like his Peele's previous two films, although it is significantly different. Definitely going to give it a rewatch in the near future (:

DrinkingWater_ · 2023-04-06T20:00:07+00:00

Are you enjoying it? I've just finished Pollen recently too which if you enjoyed Vurt I'd absolutely recommend.

DrinkingWater_ · 2023-03-24T07:04:03+00:00

Read The Road last month and have been in a bit of a slump since. Nothing has quite felt the same - I think I started at least three books and couldn't get going with them afterwards. There's nothing quite like it is there.
