Here's a great 1927 short film showing the highlights of London - in color!
It's also remarkably similar to Brian's short film, Route 23, which he filmed aboard a double decker bus a few years ago.What I've Been Reading
Stephenie Meyer: Eclipse (The Twilight Saga)
Just when I start to think I can enjoy the series, something absolutely painful happens.... (**)Stephenie Meyer: New Moon
Still on the fence on this, but there's enough to keep me going through the series (**)Stephenie Meyer: Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)
Painful, but the last 100pp got interesting, so I'll soldier on int he series. (**)- Edited By Reay Tannahill: Paris in the Revolution - a Collection of Eyewitness Accounts
Interesting to read first-hand accounts of the French Revolution from the famous and the not famous. (***) Ruth Scurr: Fatal Purity: Robespierre and the French Revolution
I wasn't in love with the writing in this book, but anything about Robespierre makes for gripping reading. (****)Rebecca Miller: Personal Velocity
I loved Miller's movie, but the book needed more soul to be successful for me. (***)Daphne Du Maurier: Rebecca
Rich, atmospheric mystery that obliquely, cunningly tackles feminist issues of sex, self-esteem and power (particularly in relationships) (*****)Margaret Drabble: Waterfall
Very internal, almost Woolfian portrait of a woman who seems impossibly cold and removed until she begins an affair with her cousin's husband (****)Roberto Bolano: The Savage Detectives: A Novel
I hated every single thing about this book and gave up at p. 164. (*)William Maxwell: So Long, See You Tomorrow
The narrator outlines a small town murder, then reimagines it... exactly as you would've guessed it happened in the first place. At least it was short. (*)
