Book I'm reading at the moment: The Revenge of Gaia, James Lovelock, very good so far, but rather frightening (exactly the intended reaction I think).Update on Gaia: Put simply, one of the most significant books I've ever read. Everyone should read this- you may not agree with everything Lovelock says, but I guarantee you'll see enough strong evidence for dramatic global heating to start you thinking- and maybe make you realise it's not someone elses problem. Lovelock isn't just scare-mongering- but is also offering some ideas for us to survive.
Films I've seen recently:
A Scanner Darkly - surreal drug induced science fiction- superb. One of my favourite directors.
Volver - another surreal treat- entirely warm and human- Spanish director Almodovar on top form.
The Black Dahlia - Please don't waste your money, get LA Confidential on DVD instead.
