Miscellany
Nov. 7th, 2019 11:41 pmWhen Beast bought his new iPhone a week or three ago, he was given a year's free subscription to the Apple TV service. So we've just watched the first episode of 'For All Mankind', and found it very interesting indeed. I'm certainly interested enough to want to watch more.

The BBE have put up a list of 'novels that have had an impact' on the lives of a bunch of "leading writers, curators and critics". It's quite interesting, though I don't always agree with the categories. And I wonder what kind of impact they are talking about.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/494P41NCbVYHlY319VwGbxp/explore-the-list-of-100-novels-that-shaped-our-world I've heard of most of the books, but haven't read a large proportion.

This evening, Beast and I watched 'A Passage to India', which we'd borrowed from the library in the hope it might entertain FIL for an evening (which it did). A film whose time has long since passed, I fancy.

The Great British Dildo Heist.
