Did you know that the greatest Christmas movie, Die Hard, is based on a novel called Nothing Lasts Forever?

Apparently it's a very good book, so don't read the plot summary if you plan to try it out. But otherwise, read how the book ends. It's *dark* compared to the movie!

I’ve taken advantage of a cold and frosty weekend to binge A Spy Among Friends on the new ITVX. I’m a fan of Cold War spy dramas and love Ben Macintyre’s books. It’s a OK adaptation with a stellar cast though not a patch on the book which is able to explore the themes of friendship and betrayal much more effectively.
