Okay, day two of blogging. Still not sure what this is going to end up being. Should I write about movies? Books? Music? Personal stuff? Hmmm.
Well, I suppose I can start writing about books, as that's what I was reading on the way down to work this morning. If my stupid batteries hadn't died, I could have written about music, but alas.
I'm about 300 pages in to Charles Dickens' _Great Expectations_. If you've seen the film with Ethan Hawke and Gwenyth Paltrow, you have an idea (a very thin idea) of the plot. The truth is, Dickens is an incredible writer. Such detail and thought goes into each chapter. To call any film version (and, yes, the includes Lean's masterpiece) and "watered down" version, is an understatement.
