2020 Book List

Ten books.  Just under one a month.  Since I have been working from home for almost this whole year, I no longer can read on the bus, which has cut into my reading time.  I’m saying I wish I’d read more books.  

The book of the year is clearly, Dreams of Amputation.


Maybe I posted a review.  Maybe I will if I haven’t.  Or just go and read it yourself.

Meet Joe Black

Actually no spoilers this time.  

So I watched the end of this m movie again.  I’d seen it once when it was released years ago.  It was kinda crap and a lot of blond hair on Brad Pitt.  But I couldn’t help being impressed by Anthony Hopkins’ powerful performance.  Just the look on his face could convey so much.  And I thought his character was a good example of what a man should be.
