A bookworm life

Image
Do you have a bookworm life?  While l don't read many books these days l listen to audiobooks nearly everyday. I'm walking or on the bus most days and listening to the latest book. I like the sound of being a bookworm. As l have said many times l love the arts and see a lot of things. Well, l'm listening to a book when l'm traveling to the shows.  It's a grand life. Let me know if you're a bookworm like me.

Frankenstein - A horror tale

I've seen another film.  Yes, 2 in 2 weeks, most unusual. This past week it was Frankenstein and what a good film it was. I haven't read the book so don't know how faithful this film is to it. A big production that was written well, acted well; it was a good film. The acting was good from all cast members and, the actor who played the being must have spent hours in makeup to look the way he did. It's a film that is a horror from start to finish with themes that make you think about them afterwards. My takeaway is that Victor was the true monster. How lucky am l to see 2 good films recently and l've seen the shorts of a film that is releasing in November and l will see that one too. Frankenstein 4 out of 5 stars.

The latest Peter James book is out  I think Peter James is a good crime fiction writer. This book has a different setting but it's still worth reading.  Let me know if you read Peter James.

After the hunt

An interesting film.  I can't really remember the last time l saw Julia Roberts in a film.  The performances of all the cast were good and this was an interesting film that made me think about afterwards; the sign of a good film l think. Have you seen this film?

Have you read The Da Vinci Code?

Image
It started with a documentary that l saw on Rennes le Chateau.  The documentary linked this book to the catholic priest in that town. So l decided to read(listen) to the book and can't clearly see the link yet. Let me know if you've read this book and can see the link.
