Ooh I should probably read that. Did it genuinely help you to cut down on processed food or is it more of a rant about how bad processed food is for us?

I found her style in Wolf Hall a little distracting (the use of the third person, was it?)

Ok, I should definitely read the book now. Film was great, as one of the first mega blockbusters I saw in the cinema as a kid. need to revisit that, too.

Ha, that's funny for me, I really like interstellar and it is a film i enjoy rewatching, mainly to try and understand it (!!). I actually like to rewatch a select few films but almost never books, never thought about why (maybe the time investment being greater in a book? I find layers in rewatching certain films that I didn't see before, say The Last Emperor by Bertolucci.
My friend also recently recommended Green lights.

Crime and Punishment - makes the point that the psychology of any wrongful act (not nearly as heinous as murder) will often ruin the perpetrator. Don't do bad things.

Ah that might explain why the Wire was so darn good... Deep, lived experience, written from a place of empathy, connection and understanding, rather than just a scathing takedown.

Ahh Jane Eyre was painful as a teenage boy doing A-Level English lit... Unrequited love in Victorian England with everything about gestures and subtle words was so hard to get into. It's firmly on the never again list for me 😆

If you fancy a good read, Ken Follet's the Pillars of the Earth is a good historical fiction novel about the building of cathedrals set in the medieval period (we know very little about the actual people who built them, just who commissioned them and who perhaps designed them, not more).

I've been trying to do this for the last 6 months or so. Best profits I've had have been from unexpected items. Car boot sales are the way, charity shops are (understandably) very clued on prices these days (and good for them), but most at a car boot just want a few quid to get the thing out of their life.

Sorry but that's too much of a generalisation.
People around me aren't bad.
Maybe I've overdone it a little in the description, so apologies for that, but I suppose I'm trying to hear from people who didn't follow the well trodden path and how it went for them and the conversations they had with those around them
