I was looking around my room earlier and was astonished at the amount of Film Studies texts I have acquired over the past few years.
If this suspiciously looks like the University of Warwick’s preparatory reading list for the Film Department, your right! I’ve sensibly used it as reading list of decent textbooks about Film Studies. Hopefully I can use them as part of an undergraduate degree course in the future.
Well, being Ill has meant that I’ve had a lot of spare time to fill. I guess they’ll all come in handy some day!
