Books, books and more books

At one point I was writ­ing brief reviews on here with my thoughts about vari­ous books I’d been read­ing. I’ve got out of the habit of doing that, and meant to get back in to it.

The Double

I went to see the Double a little while ago. My friend Ellina has thing about Jesse Eisen­berg and she wanted to see it. I haven’t been going to the cinema often enough recently.

The film owes a lot to Terry Gilliam’s Brazil, but it’s defin­itely worth a watch.
