…. I have been enjoying watching Star Wars Uncut with my lads. Thought the femme fatale Darth Vader with hairdryer brandishing stormtroopers were particularly brilliant.

….I watched The Agent and thought it was a neat little film that rips nicely into the agent/publisher/gatekeeper problem within publishing. Well worth a watch if you have any interest whatsoever in writing or reading. Great script. Here’s the trailer:

….my favourite new song is F**k You from Cee-Lo Green (one half of Gnarls Barkley). As you might assume, this probably isn’t suitable for work:

…on the reading front, I finally found time to finish David Mitchell’s The Thousand Autumns of Jacob De Zoet and proper loved it. Such a multi-faceted novel, part romance, part historical drama, part heist story, part naval adventure. Might have to a proper review. Confirms Mitchell as one of my favourite novelists. Definitely in my current top five. Started Room by Emma Donoghue today. That’s shaping up to be a gripping read too.And as part of the short story challenge, I have started a collection of Chekhov’s early works. Surprisingly funny and very, very contemporary in feel. But more of that in my next SSC post.

Hope you are having a relaxing Sunday. Use the comments to share what you have been enjoying this week.
