It might be nice just to hear from time to time what others are reading, watching and listening to.
What's that you say? Why don't I get the ball rolling? Well, as you asked, I'd be only too happy...
Recently read:
- Hugh Dennis - Britty Britty Bang Bang - a very lightweight look at Britishness, adopts the same scattergun approach to The Now Show with regard to jokes quality. OK.
- Jeremy Hardy - My Family and Other Strangers - much more of a class act than Dennis, a cosy Radio 4-style read as expected from a 2nd Division National Treasure.
- Jo Nesbo - Headhunters - superb thriller
- Hemingway - To Have and Have Not - compelling, moving, will stay with me for some time
Watching (sorry it's not very cutting edge):
- Err... A Very Peculiar Practice box set
- The King's Speech - I guess it was as good as the hype... but why didn't he just give all his speeches listening to a gramophone record on headphones?
- The Reader - a well-told tale with a few things to think about
Waiting to watch:
- 30 Rock Season 6
- Parks & Rec season 3 when it hits BBC4 next year
- Isn't it about time I got into Breaking Bad?
- Can I find time to watch all of the Rockford Files box set I've got my Dad for Xmas?
