The Scribbler Writes Again.📝
Thursday 2nd March 2017.
Since Xmas I have decided to read some classic books. My last post about 39 Steps was number one, some might say it is not a classic. My second was ‘To Kill a Mockingbird”. However I have now watched a film of this book even though I could only find the one.
I was surprised to see that the film, starring Gregory Peck, followed pretty close to the book. ,,however there were a few minor changes to the book. The ones that were noticeable were parts of the story being left out. This did not affect the story-line. Where the book, like most books, write descriptions of people and their expressions or the environment. Some try to put the reader into a place or situation this film uses the visual qualities and camera work and techniques of film. If you haven’t read the book or seen the film I strongly advise that you do, I am sure you will enjoy it. I say to you now ‘Good Viewing or Reading or Both’.

I am a person with plenty of time on my hands. In the last couple of years I have started these blogs/posts mainly to speak my mind and generally release some pent-up frustration.
In my early years I played the guitar ( and still do) for several bands, covering various styles, rock and roll, country and middle of the road.I played as a soloist, writing my own songs, lyrics and poems, and started in folk clubs. So I thought this might be a good way to express myself and hope that I can pass on to other people. While I have been doing this I have also discovered other people whose writing I also like so am learning as I travel this road to discovery.
Update… Have now posted a few and received some good responses, and discovered other good pages. my music had become a little more prominent due to frequenting folk clubs and jamming sessions.
Thank you and Please enjoy..

I’m presently reading The 39 Steps on your recommendation. It’s a similar style of writing to A Month in the Country though they were written decades apart. I read To Kill a Mockingbird when I was a student and couldn’t put it down. I enjoyed reading your reviews.
I am pleased to hear it and I hope you are enjoying the story. I also found ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ hard to put down until I finished it. Thank you for your kind words on my brief reviews and opinions.
Love that book and the movie but haven’t seen it in years and years. Of course, I also like Gregory Peck. Sigh.
Thank you ,,, yes the film is engrossing. Welcome and thanks 😼
You are more than welcome, Gerry. 😉
Thank you so much, very kind of you🙏
I think I might have seen the film of The 39 Steps as a young child, but I’m ashamed to say I haven’t read either!
There are several films all good. But for different reasons. I do recommend a read though. Thank you and welcome.👦
Funny how some things pass you by, isn’t it? I’ve always meant to read To Kill a Mocking Bird but it has eluded me. I shall seek it out, on your recommendation. 🙂 Happy weekend, Gerry! Pouring here. Can only get better!
It will be very worthwhile, it is a good read. The sun is out but the wind is cold very cold. Welcome…..📕📓📑📔📚
A good book, and the filmmakers did not ‘Hollywoodise’ it to the extent they so often do. I was totally fed up with the film version of Lorna Doone, for example.
I thought the film was good, no frills etc. Agree with you. Thanks and welcome.
