Things I Like

After the stark reality of the last post I thought I would post a little on things I like. It is important sometimes to immerse yourself in the things you like, it helps and though I struggle a bit with reading novels at the moment due to my poor concentration I am still very much into poetry. I think but I am not sure that it was C.S. Lewis who said something like we read to prove we are alive, I think that is very true. Films are like books very personal and I know there are many more films I like even love but if I went o the cinematic version of “Desert Island Discs” these are the five films I would choose,

• Poets

• William Blake
• Stevie Smith
• T.S. Eliot
• e.e. cummings

• Novels

• The Glass Palace
• We Need to Talk about Kevin
• Earthly Powers
• The Book Thief

• Films

• The Godfather Trilogy
• The Winslow Boy
• A Matter of Life and Death
