I should go on vacation more often. 2 books in 2 weeks, I can?t remember the last time I?ve done that. I?ve read a few Jeffrey Archer books over the years and always find them enjoyable. Lots of twists and turns as usual.

4/5.

Saw this in second hand book shop last week. I didn?t know Tom Hanks had written a book. It?s a collection of short stories. Some I found good others not so much.

3/5.

Why such a long wait? Or do you mean for you personally?

None of the vaccines have been approved yet. I think the government is waiting to see results from the UK and USA first before committing to millions of doses. With such low numbers and deaths compared to the rest of the world, we?re not rushing into anything unproven.

I just saw a guest is "Printing the topic "MOVED: The Dirty Harry Blues"."

As in printing the thread letting everyone know that a thread has been moved elsewhere.

Wait a minute ... a documentary about minimalism has a sequel? Isn't that sort of a contradiction in terms?

 

It isnt extreme minimilism but everyone just has so much stuff that a good portion of it, is never used.

If you enjoyed Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things from about 5 years ago, check out the follow up, The Minimalists: Less Is Now.

Highly recommended.

A couple of weeks before Christmas we all but gotten rid of the virus here in Australia. The only infections were people coming back from overseas and its mandatory for them to hotel isolate for two weeks on their return.

Things looked like it would be a normal Christmas, then bang!! A flight crew member from the USA flight brought the virus back in. For some stupid reason flight crew members didnt have to isolate only passengers. Anyway, everyone's Xmas plans went out the window as the state borders got closed and restrictions were brought back in with how many people you can have in your home etc.

We're not in total lockdown like at the beginning of this pandemic and hopefully things won't get that bad again but it looks like we're a long way from getting back to life as we once knew it, if we ever will?

It may be a little while until we see a 2021 release but this is the thread for discussion of the films released this year. Anyone have any upcoming films that they're really looking forward to?
