I'm reading War and Peace at the moment
Contrary to what I thought it's not a particularly arduous read. It's just a bloody long book

What are you good people reading?

it was cool, but I don't know whether I'd listen to it at home, it seems like it's probably loads better if you're actually there

Like with watching films, I have to have seen it literally years ago
so I have forgotten the details of the ending. I watched Total Recall again the other night, it must have been 7 or so years since I watched it last, so it was almost like watching it for the first time again. I can't watch this film again for at least 3 years now.
