I\u2019m sat, and the first week of December has flown By, I visited my dad this time last week, and whilst helping with some garden waste disposal, I think I may have damaged my shoulder as later in the week it killed, we had a busy week both our cars were serviced, and Amanda had a minor repair on her car my old car which she then later drove to her family. I hence haven\u2019t reviewed a book, and I sometimes [prefer these chatty posts for some reason, I ll be back to review a few books tomorrow. I did read a few books this week and watched a couple of interesting other bits. I am, of course, a huge Star Wars fan. Like most men my age, I was drawn in by the Empire strikes back when it came out. So I caught the first two episodes of another series from the Star Wars Universe. I started as a\u00a0 sort of suburbian planet, and we follow two young friends who stumble on a starship and end up at a hang-out in the middle of nowhere for Pirates.`A sort of Goonies meets breakfast club in space. Then I also caught on Mubi Past Lives, which, when I saw the trailer last year, had caught my eye. A pair of teen sweethearts reunite after one had moved to America aged 12; she was a writer and had settled down, whilst her sweetheart in Korea had never entirely moved on from her it turns out as the spend a couple of days, it is like the opposite of the Before series of films in a way as they talk about there lives and the past and he imagines what if and what if they were destined to meet in every lifetime ?. I loved this. I wish I was better at keeping up my letterbox account, but this is one of my films of the year.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s gem was this: I found a Harvil in the wild is always worth bagging. I also have ordered a few books for next year\u2019s classic project. I picture them below, and some will hopefully make next year\u2019s list of books read. I have chosen a mix of Nyrb and Oxford classics.<\/p>\n

A few more to go into the mix for next years year long reading challenge. I have also altered the original idea and moved the year of books from 1939 to now. I\u2019m reviewing books before my birth year, so anything from 1971 will count. I add this as I think this will give me a broader scope of books from my own TBR. But also gave me World War Two, modernist and early post-modernist works, and a whole scope of books. I think it may give me a better year for the classic Booker International Year, where I can make up for not doing the Booker International. I will make my own list of books for a year. I am still looking for a year. I will have it ready for the new year. Any old booker guys are welcome to join in on what, for me, is a fun idea like a lost booker, almost a list of books that may have been on a booker international list. as they all have come out the same year in their own language. I will, or hopefully, read and pick a winner with others. I\u2019m hoping this grabs someone\u2019s attention. Anyway, I\u2019ll be back with a review tomorrow as we have put our decorations up. I intend this type of post to be a new weekly post, either Saturday or Sunday, a way of touching base with bits about books, films, TV and music. and a bit about life in general. This is a post I used to see a lot of years ago, and I loved it; I always better chat about book finds, bits of films and TV I have seen, and it also is something to help me look back. Apart from that, nothing much has happened, Oh, someone bumped my car whilst I was working one night in the High Peaks, so I had a bang to remove at some point, which was annoying. I love my car. It was my aunt, and it was more luxurious than I could have ever afforded in a vehicle. Oh well, I learned to move the car a foot closer. How has your week been?<\/p>\n
