Thoughts: Five Terry pratchett books in a list of 100 is a bit too much. Especially when only one Stephen King book has been mentioned. It’s almost criminal not to have Carrie<\/i>, Salem’s lot<\/i>, or The Shining<\/i>. Even the Dark Tower<\/i> series.
\nToo many Jacqueline Wilson books too.
\nPersonally, I felt Jeffrey Archer’s As the Crow Flies<\/i> would be a better choice than Kane and Abel<\/i>. <\/p>\n

Gross negligence: Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are both missing. No Wodehouses or Agatha Christies either. <\/p>\n

Thoughts: Me and good<\/i> movies? No way. I seem doomed to watch and savour (and crib about) that Occidental wonder that is the Summer Blockbuster.
\nBut really, I have a lot of catching up to do, at least as far as good movies are concerned. The problem happens to be my attention span, which gets shorter day by day. I can’t just sit for two hours in front of a monitor or a TV screen without thinking of something else to do. The only place where I enjoy watching movies is a Theater, however, if I don’t like the beginning, I am more apt to eavesdrop on conversations, or plain moan and make bad jokes about whatever is going on up there onscreen.<\/p>\n

This movies list seems pretty well-balanced. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
