I wonder if I watch too many films as when I see everyone elses lists for the year, they're so short. I've already watched 16 new films and 3 tv boxsets :$
I'm a bit slow on the reading this year, I'm just finished my first one!

Is the Python years good? I've always fancied giving it a read! x

Haha, that's really good going! This has been a very slow month for me - mainly because I've been burying myself in fanfiction *facepalm*! That always ruins one's chance to lengthen one's culture lists. Haha! Last year I watched 50 films I think. :D

Ooh yeah Python Years - I'm enjoying it so far, not as funny as I thought it would be as it's all daily life stuff. Still entertaining though!

[escapedelusion.livejournal.com]

Last year I watch 81 films and 20 tv series! Haha. The rate I'm going, I'll do double that this year! Haha.

WOW! I need get going on this then, hahaha. x

You've inspired me to start up my own list on my blog: http://maxraymond.co.uk/lists-for-2010/ :D

I'm doin' books, TV series and films. At the rate I'm going I will have seen a ton of films by the end of the year, haha.

Nice one :D Yeah I don't watch that many films. I have times where I can't stop watching them and will watch 3 a day, and the rest of the time I can go a whole month without seeing one. I have 4 other books on the go right now though, teehee.

I try not to fall into the habit of watching too much TV/film so I balance it out. I get to the end of one disc and then watch a film and then go back to the TV series. This is quite good for me, especially considering how detailed something like The Wire is so it is worth having a breather every now and again.

With books...I'm a slow reader. Haha. Aino thinks I'm improving though. I'm currently waiting for the Dara O'Briain book but it still hasn't arrived yet. :(

I have loads of boxsets I am yet to watch but I have to be in the right mood. I'm always doing ten things at once as well haha. I think it's better to be a slow reader, you take it in more if you take your time imo!
