Amy-Jane Beer's The Flow is a book about rivers, and particularly the rivers of Great Britain. It's my favourite kind of nature writing, mixing personal memoir with history, science, ecology and culture, and I enjoyed it a great deal.

Less enjoyable was Empire of Light, which we went to see last night. From the trailers, I'd expected a nostalgic tribute to the power of cinema, possibly involving the restoration of a derelict building. I was not expecting a violent racist attack, and was definite not expecting a disturbing portrayal of severe mental illness leading to sectioning. I think it was a good film (and the cinematography was stunning) but it really wasn't much fun to watch.

Added The Flow to my wishlist. It sounds like my kind of book as well.
