Last night when I couldn't go to sleep I began reading Lawrence James' The Rise And Fall of the British Empire. When you're awake in the middle of the night it's a good thing to read awhile and then go back to sleep, which I did.

I've finished off Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen, and I'm going to start on an amber series compilation by Zelazny.

Mercutio - yes Ive seen the mission, good film.
Still digesting about De Niro....great presence etc but isnt as versatile as a great actor should be, has to become the character, live the the character. Just my interpretation of acting, dont want to criticise De Niro or his fans, I still think that what he does best, hes the best at...if you see what I mean !

Just finished Dante's Inferno. Wow! To quote Forkbeard: "I could not praise it enough!" I really recommend it to all of you.
I started on Lord of Chaos, the 6th book of The Wheel of Time. |

Finished Paul Auster's The Book of illusions. With this one, he has finally fallen from my list of favourite contemporary athors.
It could have been a very good book, but he gets lost in it. I'm begining to think that he only is good for literary fireworks, but that the human depth that he had in Smoke is completely lost

Gordy, you cannot give up on Auster, he has a Norwegian wife!!! (Siri Hustvedt, another author. If you should wonder. )
