One of the most poorly executed films I’ve ever seenI saw the film of The Goldfinch, it was LOL
I love the premise of this (magical wood bordering a crumbling English estate, 3 square miles on the outside, but endlessly vast and ancient on the inside, which contains infinite incarnations of figures from British folklore) but one of the characters explains the premise in such matter of fact detail and the other character just accepts it without question, in the first 30 pages, that it sort of takes the fun out of it.About to start Mythago Wood by Robert Holdstock.
I read his other one, Artemis, yesterday and it’s a bit different to the one before and after it but he’s basically publishing movie treatments as novels.Today I read Project Hail Mary. It's proper good Nerd MacGyver Science Fiction, like The Martian in space (yes, I know) because it's by Andy Weir, who wrote The Martian.
Read this last night. Some serious OPINIONS in there aren't there? I wouldn't recommend it as an intro to anyone but not bad all the same.Riffs and Meaning: Manic Street Preachers and Know Your Enemy by Stephen Lee Naish. A short essay on the Manics sixth album. Really it only spends a couple of chapters on the album and Cuba gig. Mostly a short history of the band. Some opinions are not great, but an enjoyable read for a fan. Better than wasting a couple of hours on the phone anyway. Interesting to read thoughts of a fan who wasn't around for the Richie era.
Yeah. It was really a blog post in book form. I read the 33 1/3 on the holy bible not long after and it was similar stuff. I wanted the minutia of how they recorded the album track by track, but it was mostly another short history by a younger fan. Again, grand. I bought Everything then, but haven't gotten round to it yet. Read it years ago when I had already split company from the band. Simon Price isn't without his problems, but I'm expecting it to be at least a bit more music journalisty.Read this last night. Some serious OPINIONS in there aren't there?

God yeah, Everything. I gave it to a mate 20 years ago and haven't seen it since but can still pretty much quote it verbatim. I know Price is working on a new edition at the moment, I think he's a great music journalist meself.Yeah. It was really a blog post in book form.
