Quite rightly in my view.
After all, what could TV add to lines like (not word perfect at this time of night)
'I cycled to Gloucester once with concussion. Granted I was only supposed to go to Lidl . . '
I'm reading 'The Trial of Richard 111' the transcrpit of the C4 documentary of some years ago where they staged a trial of Richard for the murders of the Princes in The Tower.
I've just ordered http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1845294963/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
Although it seems to have been discredited, as a Dan Brown fan, it could make for an interesting read . .
Tales from the time loop - David Icke

DOOMED

The Psychopath Test - Jon Ronson

That is good. I'd also recommend this
Quote: AJGO @ October 29 2012, 4:01 PM GMTAJGO just bought 'The Wisdom of Psychopaths' by Kevin Dutton from a charity shop. It even smells interesting!
I had no idea AJGO was so interested in self-help books. 
I'm about to dive into Coriolanus for the next section of my course. Very excited to be doing some Shakespeare after the tedium of Charlotte Bronte (though in my critical readings I discovered that Jane Eyre is quite interesting as a colonialist novel, and really very racist.) Has anyone seen Ralph Fiennes' modern Coriolanus from last year?

I'm reading On The Map: Why the world looks the way it does by Simon Garfield and And Here's the Kicker: Conversations with 21 Top Humor Writers on their Craft by Mike Sacks.
Both self-help books of sorts!

I've got it on DVD but keep putting it off.
Looks - and apparently is - heavy.
Teehee, anus...
Oh, zooo. Why did you have to do that? Now I'm going to be thinking that every time I read it!
*snigger*
I read it at university and can't remember one bloody thing about it ... no, wait - he was Roman? Is that one bloody thing? Anyway I don't remember liking it much.
Just read Stephen kings excellent kindle book on gun crime

I've just finished the film and it is superb. The most refreshing performance of a Shakespeare play I have ever seen. It's serious, but I wouldn't say it was too heavy - it's well-paced and dynamic. You should definitely watch it.
'London' - Edward Rutherfurd.
English history in one enjoyable lesson.
