Books and films

Have ade a stteady start into my reading for this year. Have now finished 'The Shaping of Things to Come'. Got better as it went on. I think the authors ran out of long words to use and the whole thing retreated from up its own butt. Probably a good read for anyone considering emerging church.

Am now reading 'the BFG'. Will start on 'Long Walk to Freedom' later. Its a book that I can't quite believe I haven't read yet.

Have also seen two films already: we rewatched 'The Notebook' on Monday. It really is the saddest film. Its out on DVD next month. Watch with tissues. And I watched 'Garden State' yesterday. Think I liked it but not sure. Quite sweet.. Maybe I wasn't in the best mood for it.

Back to books. We're working on developing a site to review all the books. Watch this space.

Hey - if you want a copy of North and South - please buy it from the Waterestones in the middle of Birmingham! Since it was on tv, they have piles and piles of it that they can't get rid of ;o)

HI Jude,

I've just finished WORMWOOD - by G.P. Taylor (that vicar who self published, got a major book and now film deal and now has more than $6million in his bank account)...

It's quite a freaky read - I'd recommend it - here's a link to my review of it in case you are interested:

Remembering What I Enjoy..

Occasionally I forget things. Some stuff like birthdays, names and stuff is a normal human thing, and I don't sweat it so much. But I also forget some other stuff which is not so good. I forget what I enjoy. I don't know how it happens but it does from time to time. And its at these moments that I need a bit of help remembering. So- this is a request for help. What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

Who will rid me of this meddlesome...

... piano? It occurred to me yesterday as i nursed ANOTHER bruise on my arm.. that I have had a piano sat in my hallway for 2 months! It seemed like such a good idea at the time but apparently is not... its stuck there and everytime I walk down my hall I have to squeeze past the darn thing- often not successfully! A number of options lie before me: -chop the thing into several hundred pieces -find lots of people who want to move it.. to where I'm not sure -sell it -give it away -pray it away It goes next weekend.. even if it kills me... which it might.. hummm
