I had to wait on this one to visit my parents. This book was THE poetry book for me and my sisters. Huge, well loved illustrated hardback. Lovely mix of great poems. I liked the limericks, epigrams and other funny ones the most.

Taking its stylistic cues from the movement, Richard Linklater’s ‘Nouvelle Vague’ charts the making of Jean-Luc Godard’s ‘Breathless’. Newcomer Guillaume Marbeck is an uncanny Godard, given to dispensing epigrams, but brittle & uncertain too, & pic fizzes with that era’s playfulness & mischief

2026 Reading 57: Funeral in Berlin by Len Deighton. Another sick-bed read – and perfectly judged, in that I can blame my inability to understand what *exactly* happened in the tricksy, double-crossy, fake-identity espionage plot on my flu-addled state, even when it’s actually explained at the end.

Thank you Myron. These talks are so helpful! I know when I saw the epigrams at the beginning that this is going to be a tough read. I’m only reading a sample at the moment…
And who’s asking about your tshirt??? It’d be something different if it had day old spaghetti all over it 🤔

It is at least passably good history and the performances aren't just imitations. The glasses help with Godard obv., but tossing off gnomic epigrams is what he did, and Zoey Deutch as Seberg owns the film with pure charisma and inhabits perfect mix of frustration and fascination.

Continuing this week's theme of periodically opening a book (a bilingual collection of Goethe's poetry) instead of a new tab when I need a work distraction, and, uh....👀.
Always fun to see a blunt reminder that salaciousness isn't a new invention. Wonder what Goethe would have made of WAP.
