I just realised that I can actually contribute to this discussion, i.e. I actually did go to the cinema and did see a film. More than once. Hurray!!! I am slowly getting out of the complete mummification.

It's a great one for book clubs.<br /><br />Iota - I actually try to write down books I've read now, in a notebook, so as not to forget. Only I forget to do that, too...<br /><br />Geekymummy - Ah yes, I really enjoyed the Maggie O'Farrell too.

Loved the other two books you mentioned, especially the David Mtichell, he is one of my favourite authors of all time, just amazingly talented. I also loved "The hand that first held mine" by Maggie O farrell (which may not have been from last year, I just read it last year!)<br /><br />For next year I have high hopes for "Mary Ann in Autumn" the long anticipated Armistead Maupin book, the last in the tales of the city series. I'm hoping Santa gets that for me!<br /><br /><br />TV wise Mad men is a favourite here, and we also love "the wire". Gritty, real dialogue, excellent acting, American TV at its best.<br /><br />Movies, well We also loved an education and toy story three and we didn't watch any other current movies at all. We just watched Woody Allens "manhatten murder mystery though (from the 1980's) and it was bloody brilliant!geekymummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10529149669501249892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-48829375160077746982010-12-20T17:00:47.463-05:002010-12-20T17:00:47.463-05:00The Help, and The Education - I'd agree with y...The Help, and The Education - I'd agree with you on both of those.
