Book and Film Reviews

As a hobby, I like to review the books I read and the DVDs I watch. I am at present 1246 in the hierarchy of Amazon reviewers. Looking back, it's useful to know when you encountered an author or a director. Especially if a book has an influence on your behaviour. I took Nassim Nicholas Taleb's advice and stopped watching TV news. I've found Mark Forster's ideas on time-management very useful, but difficult to put into practice.

I'm in the habit these days of watching a DVD, then looking it up on imdb.com and Wikipedia. Then I write my Amazon review having got all the background.

I've also created a list of the top ten books for speechwriters.
