Book recommendations
I've just read a very good book called Johnny Ruin by Dan Dalton
I was surprised that the author is British as it captures aspects of Americana brilliantly.
If you liked Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind you are sure to like this.
Right that's my book recommendation for this year
What are yours ?

Re: Book recommendations
Jono is doing a book a week as his new year's resolution for 2018. He'll pop along soon with some of the highlights I'm sure.
I copied some of them from what people recommended him on Facebook and will report back.

Re: Book recommendations
I'm doing that more and more lately, and ironically if the films good I end up reading the book afterwards.
Last time I did that was with Mudbound.
Both are recommended.
