What are you reading?

Just did one of my periodic trips through some favourite books of photographers. Donovan, Duffy and Bailey ('The Black Trinity') and Jane Bown.

Always looking for inspiration!

I've returned to The Roswell Conspiracy. Maybe I'll be able to find more time to spend reading now.

Clive, after seeing your statement I read a summary of the novel you're reading. I should probably read the whole thing. It'd make a good movie in my opinion.

i dont remember which title tipped the scales but if i read a book I will not watch, if there is one, the film version and vice versa. Always a giant disappointment

Totally agree. One or the other, but the inevitable differences between the two media create problems for those who try to do both while subconsciously expecting them to be identical. Not going to happen!

Re-reading Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. It’s a true story that reads like a Tennessee Williams Southern gothic screenplay.

I finally finished reading "Cibola Burn", #4 from the "The Expanse" series.

Now I can watch season 4 of the "The Expanse" TV series, loosely based on that book.

And I'm on to reading "Sputnik Sweetheart", yet another Murakami novel.

SWMBO and I both love the movie.
