LaBrava Elmore Leonard; Recommended.
Farenheit 451 Ray Bradbury; Definitely recommended. Comments
here.The Film That Changed My Life Robert Elder; Like the filmspotting forum- except these guys know what they are talking about.
Destroyer of Worlds Larry Niven/ Edward Lerner.
Redemolished Alfred Bester- yummy
Betrayer of Worlds Larry Niven/ Edward Lerner
Worth Dying For Lee Child- Jack Reacher piece of trash; love them all.
The Illustrated Man Ray Bradbury - This guy can write. Melancholy, mellifluous, maddening, momentous, miasma.
Glitz Elmore Leonard
The Talented Mr. Ripley Patricia Highsmith
The Martian Chronicles Ray Bradbury
Making Movies Sidney Lumet
Stanley Kubrick Cahiers du Cinema
A Matter Of Life And Death Ian Christie
Ripley's Game Patricia Highsmith {Made
The American Friend a better film by elaborating on the plot, not sure that's Wender's strong point}
The Boy That Followed Ripley Patricia Highsmith {Listened to a BBC play version of
Ripley Underground to fill in the gaps; Ian Hart made an interesting version of Ripley}
Hitchcock Truffaut Francois Truffaut
Dress Her In Indigo John D. MacDonald
The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress Robert Heinlein
The Computer Connection Alfred Bester
EoY comment- At least, listing the books I did read, highlights that I need to make more time for them. 20 is an appalling low number. I have liked all of them but it is a fairly safe list of authors for me.
