So I& #39;ve been trying to read a lot more in my spare time this year, and have been getting through the actual library of books I& #39;ve bought over the years, both in physical and Kindle format. So I thought I& #39;d make a thread of all the books I& #39;ve read so far!
This won& #39;t be updated frequently, as I& #39;m a notoriously slow reader, and it takes me months to get through a book - and I won& #39;t include the books I& #39;ve re-read (so the beginning of this year was re-reading Little Women and the Secret Garden)
These won& #39;t be reviews of the books, but I thought it would be fun to note somewhere what I& #39;m currently reading!
So after the re-reads, I recently finished Robin by Dave Itzkoff: I didn& #39;t know a ton about his life before, and this book is so in-depth, it covers almost everything. The last few chapters were so hard to read

And now after reading some Kindle samples, I& #39;m now reading Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher, and good God, where have her books been all my life
Oh no, I was supposed to update this with every book I& #39;ve read, and I& #39;ve actually read a lot since May! Let& #39;s do this
So I not only finished Wishful Drinking, but I also read Carrie Fisher& #39;s Shopaholic and The Princess Diarist - I loved these books! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😃" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund">
Then I read Spectacles, Sue Perkins& #39; autobiography, which had some very relatable stories in it, funny as expected

Then I read Stanley Kubrick: A Biography, and I wanted to read this because it was published before Kubrick& #39;s death in 1999, thought it would be interesting to read an opinion without the kind of legend status. It filled in a few gaps of my Kubrick knowledge https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Daumen hoch" aria-label="Emoji: Daumen hoch">
Then I read Disney War, which was insightful into Eisner& #39;s rise and fall, reminded me of Neal Gabler& #39;s Disney bio
And I read the Pixar Touch, which was kinda basic beginner& #39;s guide to Pixar biography - even with the explanation, I still have no idea how CGI animation works

Then I read the Jaws Log: the making of Jaws is one of my absolute favourite parts of film history, so I should have really read this sooner (and I didn& #39;t really learn anything new from it), but it was great to read anyway, no surprises there
Then I read a book called Animated Films, which highlights specific animated films from different styles, countries e.t.c. I knew we were deep into Amateur Hour when the author used female pronouns for Shrek 2 director, Kelly Asbury https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht">
Then I& #39;ve recently read Amy Nicholson& #39;s wonderful Anatomy of an Actor book on Tom Cruise (spare me, I& #39;m utterly fascinated by him as an actor only [and maybe his face, whatever]) - I learnt so much! Amy should write all the books on all the actors https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">
And now I& #39;m currently reading 2 very similar books: David Bowie Made Me Gay, and Breaking Down the Walls of Heartache, which are both about LGBT music history - they& #39;re kind of discussing the same people and same time period at the moment, but still, interesting to read!
OH my God, I thought I had updated this thread at the end of 2020, I was wrong! I& #39;ve read a lot!
