MG-

Did you see AA Gill's thought on the programme?

He called it "a treasure" which is something coming from a cantankerous old git.

The five people you meet in heaven by Mitch Albom. Not usually my sort of thing, a bit too spiritual, but it was a birthday present.

Okay back to report that I finished A Million Little Pieces. Despite all that mess with James Frey, that is. Well, it was a compelling story but once I heard the dispute the steam kinda went off and it just wasn't the same... I think Oprah was being generous when she defended him on Larry King.

"1776" by David McCullough. I can't put it down even though I have the "flu". Everyone should read this book! What terrible travails the Continental Army endured!

Autobiography of Mark Twain. It's as good as anything else he wrote, which is going some.

Yes, Roger, Abuzz! I joined A2K early on....look at the date I joined. I got busy with non-computer activities and have just started to post again. I got disallusioned and frustrated, but missed the conversations here. I talk more on books these days than politics. Books can be a solace, don't you think?

I'm just starting Vikram Seth's "From Heaven Lake", his report of his hitchhiking journey from northwest China through four Chinese provinces and Tibet and Nepal to Delhi in 1981.

Thanks for posting back Kermit. I've read the most recent thread on this book and noticed your comment there, as well.

After completing Eragon, I moved on to book two: Eldest by Christopher Paolini. Although I look forward to climbing into bed with it...I seem to be reading it ten pages at a time, just before I turn out the light....zzzzzzzzzz. I like fantasy! It must be my mood.

Welcome to one of the biggest clubs on earth. I tried twice. The first time I got into page 46; the second I went all the way to page 50.

BTW, I am now reading "Baudolino", by Umberto Eco. Very entertaining. Eco is at his best in medieval times (this novel of Eco is second only to "The Name of the Rose", IMHO.
