Banalities, smart-arsery and occasional good ideas about stuff - most often marketing, books, music, food and that.

@judecook_ @i_am_mill_i_am @johnmitchinson TCofL49 on the other hand, it’s not so much that you notice things you missed with re-reads, it’s that it means something different each time. Can’t think of many others that do that. Perhaps because I don’t re-read that much.

[Simon Parker @SimonParker65]

@judecook_ @i_am_mill_i_am @johnmitchinson I’ll try to persuade you not to read any more. I’ve read The Crying of Lot 49 half a dozen times since the mid 80s because it changes meaning down the years and because it’s great. All the others are different levels of painful hard work.

@judecook_ @i_am_mill_i_am @johnmitchinson See also Neal Stephenson

@judecook_ @i_am_mill_i_am @johnmitchinson Even in the other ones that are meant to be breezier

Home after 2nd operation in 12months. Not cancer this time still in remission, just tidy up time from before. All good, nothing bad.

@killip_jason @rocking_bob Way more than a grown man ought to be about something that happened 50+ years ago.

@TheAthletic Is it possible to gift one or more subscriptions ?

@MrPhilNorman At our pictures Holiday on the Buses was double-billed with Born to Boogie, the T-Rex film. I can’t decide if some thought or no thought whatsoever was put into that pairing. Actually I can.
