What are you reading this week of March 5, 2017? [View all]
I just started Callahan's Crosstime Saloon by Spider Robinson. All I've read so far is the Introduction by Ben Bova of Analog Magazine and the Forward by Spider himself. It's already great reading. Now the fun begins.
I did reach the end of Telempath. I like a story that wraps everything up nicely at the end, even if it's a bit cheesy. This could be a terrific movie: drama, action, romance, humor. Speaking of which...
Watched a couple of Jack Reacher movies. Jack Reacher is based on Lee Child's book, One Shot. Once I got beyond the fact Reacher was being played by 5'7" Tom Cruise, I found it enjoyable. Good story, great chase scene (Cruise did all his own stunt driving), and exciting shootout at the end. Robert Duvall was fun as Cash.
The second, Never Go Back, is based on the book by the same title. Child did not have as much input to the screenplay as he did with the first movie, and it shows. It was ok, especially since I got it free from the library. I liked the woman who could definitely hold her own against the bad guys.
