Martin Amis - London Fields.

If the rest of his work is anything like the first 120 pages of this book, I have a new favorite author.

Just found out that David Cronenberg is filming this next.

Well, I read it.. and all it made me do was trade in my camera equipment for a 1991 Plymouth Sundance.

Actually, yes. I like his other book: Feature Filmmaking At Used Car Prices, so this is really a good extension for DV.

without giving any goods away, i'll just say that its one of the mnost inspiring books on film i've ever read, and totally just reminds me of why i wanna make movies and do nothing else.  its absolutely invigorating.  i know thats not saying anything more than "fucking incredible" said, but seriously, dont hesitate, read it.  read it now.  then again, and again, and again...
