    I am finally filling a serious literary gap and working my way though Pratchett's Discworld novels.

    I just noticed this, Robert. You made me laugh.

    I read that book recently too, Red, and enjoyed it. What an fascinating bunch of people those Vidocq Society members are.

    I found it odd, though, that Capuzzo would include Richard Walter's street address and town in the book. A guy like Walter must have made more than a few enemies who might like to know where they could lay their hands on him, so to speak.

    Reading

    What I am reading now is [I]The Murder Room[I] by Michael Capuzzo. A very interesting book I might add...

    Dead Zero by Stephen Hunter. The Mark Walburgh movie Shooter was based on Stephen Hunter's book Point of Impact. Needless to say the book is better.

    Blenheim by Charles Spencer. It's about how another Churchill, John Churchill, A.K.A. The Duke of Marlborough, stopped the conquest of Europe, this time by Louis the XIV. Charles Spencer is some how related to the Churchill's, but I don't understand how and the book doesn't say.

    Going to bed with a good old Stevenson - David Balfour.

    Gotta know if this time he will taste a Tobermory while in Mull.

    Yesterday evening I started on Stewart Evans' and Paul Gainey's book "Jack the Ripper - First American Serial Killer". I'm going to enjoy this book, I think. I've already learned more about the Lincoln assassination than I previously knew!

    I'm also really enjoying a Giles compilation from 1963. There's always an extra little laugh to find in the background of the cartoons! We found several annuals that we didn't have in charity shops in England last summer.

    Happy New Year to everyone!

    Given the time of year I'm so full of tryptophan that I can barely keep my eyes open, let alone read. Between naps, I've managed to get through John Mortimer's play The Wrong Side of the Park, and Louise Penny's third mystery novel The Cruellest Month. Both quite good, IMO.

    Have you read Antony Beevor's "Berlin: The Downfall" ? Very interesting book.

    Cheers,
