    Read "The Day of Doom" by Michael Wigglesworth for an English class. Scary stuff!

    The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. Classic for a reason! Entertaining and stimulating stuff. Helps to have a great professor teaching it as well!

    I couldn't resist picking this up even though I know it's going to be terrible.

    The author is a published expert on The Saint, so you never know, it could be decent enough! :)

    Working through Sue Grafton's A-Z murder series featuring Kinsey Millhone.

    Each book is based on a letter eg A Is For Alibi, B Is For Burglar. But the strength is the way she writes fairly hard boiled Private I books featuring a female private investigator.

    Sadly Sue died last year after publishing Y. So, the last book (Z) never happened. Also, she would not allow TV or film adaptations of her books, so Kinsey remains a secret to everyone other than her reading fans.

    I've never seen it. I've heard it's pretty bad. I think I have it in my collection somewhere though. I think Roger Moore has a voice cameo in it!

    Yes, Roger appears as a voice on the radio toward the end. The rest of the film is forgettable junk and has little to do with the Saint as we know him.

    I'm puzzled that the character is being neglected today. Surely there's some demand for a film or show about a charming gentleman thief? It would be a shame for that archetype to die out, especially in our modern gilded age. As Raffles--the Saint's precursor--once said, "the distribution of wealth is very wrong to begin with."

    Definitely time for the Saint, sworn enemy of fascists and corrupt billionaires, to return!

    Meanwhile, in the 1997 novel:

    He must have beaten most of his lead by now, surely? Either that or he's very prolific!

    For the fan the book certainly installs some moments only recognized by a literary fan, the book is easily better than the final product we saw in the cinema.

    Still botched any change for more Saint movie or kicking of any franchise.
