I got a good deal with Blockbuster: I choose any movies I would like to watch from their online collection and they send it to me to be watched and returned in my on time (again via post) so hardly ever watch any movies on TV anymore.
I have been reading couple of Freya North books and thrillers to recharge my brain! :D
(No, I am not blushing as I am typing this! :p)
I was discussing this with my son last week as he will be going to uni next year all being well. Perhaps I should consider it too. I'm frequently disappointed with films.Quote:

Ah, Scher, even a quick fix of Terry Pratchett can't bring me up to the mark for The Fall, I think I need to marinate for a bit longer, there's an Elizabeth George unread on the shelf somewhere.... But glad you haven't gone under in that sea of books with which you are surrounded - don't know how you do it!
Yes, this happens to me from time to time, usually when I've struggled with one or two books in a row that I haven't enjoyed. I get over it by reading a children's book. Recently got bogged down with Sea of Poppies and Father Brown stories, but was then revived by Tom's Midnight Garden, a beautiful book, superbly written, that I wished I'd read years ago.
