Perfect Film About Books - The Stone Reader
3 September 2021
There are two kinds of people in the world; those who love reading and those who don't. Sadly, we are becoming a world of lookers (as in YouTube Facebook and other social media), instead of readers. Pictures and videos (and especially games) have replaced reading as pleasurable pastimes. Maybe this is a natural evolution, or maybe it is just the dumbing down of humanity. A third possibility is that it is somewhere in between. Regardless, this is a masterful film, and one that inspires the watcher to read. Now, I will be in pursuit of two books that impressed me in the film; Call it Sleep and The Stones of Summer. It is very common to read a book and look forward to its transition to the big screen, but it is as rare as hen's teeth to see the opposite occur. Enjoy it.
