The Shining (1980)

A family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter, where a sinister presence influences the father into violence. At the same time, his psychic son sees horrifying forebodings from both the past and the future.

In the evening Alice, Jaiden, Esme, and I watched The Shining. Jaiden had requested this movie. Soon after the start Esme fell asleep. The movie was quite slow but I liked it and give it a 7 out of 10.

The Dogtown Tourist Agency

Gentleman detective Miro Hetzel takes on a case for an industrialist client, taking him to the dangerous planet Maz—whose natives are so fierce they'll fight three battles before lunch, then dine on the enemy!

In the afternoon I started in The Dogtown Tourist Agency by Jack Vance. I had downloaded the ebook with a great cover by Jared Pullen. I read the book a long time ago, in a Dutch translation, so it was about time for a reread.
