This novel could be considered almost autobiographical, since its hero Theodore, is very similar to Nodier himself. The bibliomaniac is a kind of hoarder. He collects books just for the sake of it, and many will stay unopened or unread. The pleasure lies simply in their possession.

"This Poem 'In Days Gone By - Newbury'. Part 3 of the series Nature: Natural Healing.A time when most of the UK Countryside was criss-crossed by small roads and slow moving cars.And the pace was slower and more durable for nature.A delicate balance had been formed between the new motor car and the hedgerows and byways that struck a chord of harmony between each other. Broken now, with too many Motorways and not enough cycle lanes - leaving nature, floundering.I the Author have been writing Poetry for around 20 years. Most of it has been published on Amazon. I write on varied topics which resonate with what I'm thinking or studying at that time.Credit for the artwork on this piece, goes to Mike Miko for his interpretation of this poem into pictorial Art form." His skill in depicting the scenes of the Newbury bypass running through the heart of a forest, with a ghostly image of Swampies son, was truly remarkable.Show book
MEMENTO THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE ABOUT THE FILM Memento is a psychological thriller directed by Christopher Nolan that follows Leonard Shelby, a man suffering from anterograde amnesia, which prevents him from forming new memories. Unable to remember anything beyond a few minutes, Leonard embarks on a quest to find the person responsible for the attack that killed his wife. Using Polaroid photographs and tattoos as his only means of retaining information, Leonard struggles to piece together the truth. The film explores themes of memory, perception, and self-deception, with its nonlinear narrative structure reflecting the fragmented and unreliable nature of Leonard's memory. TRIVIA SAMPLES: “Jennifer Todd, impressed by Carrie-Anne Moss's performance in "The Matrix," suggested her for the role of Natalie. Despite competition for the role, Christopher Nolan cast Moss, believing she added depth to the character.” “The idea for the film’s subject matter emerged when Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathan took a road trip. By the time they reached Los Angeles, the entire screenplay had been discussed between them.” “Although the opening sequence is played backward, all sound effects are normal, except for Teddy’s scream, which is reversed.” “Guy Pearce improvised many of the voiceovers for Leonard’s character.”Show book
