Blog For A Slow Day

*Sigh*

I suppose this happens to just about every blogger: a slow day where they can think of nothing to say, or there’s nothing much happening that inspires them to commentary or observation. On such days, that hardy perennial of conversation is produced: the Top Ten.

Food, movies, books, colours, people from history, you name it, we can Top Ten it. So, this being the kind of dreary day where I can’t be bothered sharing my thoughts with myself, let alone the world, I’ll give you my own Top Ten.

Top Ten Films

1. Bladerunner
2. Boys Don’t Cry
3. Bullworth
4. American Beauty
5. Rear Window
6. Ryan’s Daughter
7. Starman
8. Lawrence of Arabia
9. Shadowlands
10. The Lord of the Rings

Top Ten Novels

1. The Earthsea novels by Ursula le Guin
2. The Roman Britain novels by Rosemary Sutcliff
3. To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
4. The Claudius novels by Robert Graves
5. All Quiet on the Western Front and Heaven Has No Favourites by Erich Maria Remarque
6. The Dr Tony Hill novels of Val McDermid
7. Fatherland and Archangel by Robert Harris
8. The Rebus novels by Ian Rankin
9. The Inspector Challis novels by Gary Disher
10. The Murray Whelan novels by Shane Maloney

Well, that’s your lot for today. There’ll probably be other slow days, so expect more Top Tens at some stage in the future.

Talk to you soon,

BB.
