Autumnal Reading and Viewing

This week, while working on my Galatians paper, I have had the time to indulge in a bit of relaxation.

Here are some of the books I have read and currently am reading:

Apostasy, by Dale Moody

George Orwell and the Origins of 1984, by William Steinhoff

Kierkegaard, by Josiah Thompson

Soren Kierkegaard, by Brita K. Stendahl

Jesus, Paul and the Law, by James D. G. Dunn



Here are a few of the new movies that I have watched:

Rhinoceros with Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel



This is the film adaption of the play by Eugene Ionesco. It was suprisingly good. I liked it quite a bit.

Jacques Tati's Mr. Hulot’s Holiday



A very good film. It needs repeated viewing.

Akira Kurasawa’s The Hidden Fortress



The film that inspired Star Wars.

Fritz Lang’s M



A chilling tale. Almost as good as Lang's Metropolis.

An episode of Jeeves and Wooster with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie



A nice subtle comedy of manners. Quite British.
