I was asked to reflect on some good books I’ve read this year, and of course, my memory is such that I had no choice but to cull through this blog in order to remember, Oh, yeah…I read that….it was pretty good.
Since I was mucking about in those archives, I decided to pull out a couple more categories of posts: Those I thought were just pretty good and possibly still interesting about various topics, and those about movies – and a bit of television.
This may not be every single movie I/we watched this year…but it’s close. One that’s missing is Tenet, which I did see in the theater. Which I didn’t like much. Also The Prestige, I just realized – speaking of Christopher Nolan. Never wrote about that one, either. Or The Mandalorian, the other television event of the year.
Maybe you’ll be inspired to watch something good. Links go to my posts.
