Ok, they're not books but I didn't know where else to post this.
(Ian, Snaps, feel free to move it if there's anywhere you think is more appropriate.)Neither are they new, (especially the first one), but for anyone who hasn't read them before they're both excellent.
The first is
"What's it all about", written by David Christian in the years leading up to its on-line posting in 2005.
It's a PDF file 32 pages long and to quote David,
"What I would like to do is ask a rather simple question: Why?
Why do people fall in love with this film?
What is so special about it?
In what follows, I will try to develop an answer to this question."http://fraks.sibverk.ru/svenska/FA/What_Its_All_About.pdfI re-read it the other day and fell in love with Agnes and Elin all over again.
(Not that i was ever out of..... Oh, you know what I mean. )The other one is the 25 page PDF fan fiction titled
"I can't help laughing" by Dave Mount.
Great stuff Dave, I thought I'd try to sneak it a bit closer to here while you weren't watching.
In the nature of "what happens after the O'boy."
http://oebfa.com/download/articles/fa_fanfiction_dm.pdfA great read.
I know most members will have read them both, but maybe not for some time, and I know we have quite a few visitors who perhaps haven't read them at all. It'd be nice to think the words of the two Davids will inspire a few of our visitors to become members, and all the rest to watch Fucking Åmål again.
Did the trick for me.
