So this time its looking at various books of note since the turn of the year.

I have recently completed Larsson's Millenium trilogy. These have all proved to be enjoyable reads. The tale of the second book is such that it will put "The Wiild Bunch" to shame and I await to see what Yellow Bird made of the second book when the film comes over to Britain in due course.

Currently I have gone back to "A team of Rivals " by Doris Kearns Goodwin. This is a detailed account of Lincoln's presidency and his initial election and how his rivals for the Republican Nomination came to form part of his cabinet. This goes beyond Obama rewarding Mrs Clinton but rewards for all the other candidates !!

We still have not been to the Cinema that many times but have instead re signed up to Lovefilm.com. This is one of several companies others such as Amazon, Play & Tesco's are available. You subscribe and they send you Dvd's through the post. So far we have seen Cinema first,

Avatar, Girl with the Dragon Tatoo, Terminator iv, Sweeney Todd, Letters from Iwo Jima, the Boat that Rocked and thanks to a free film from Sky Box Office Julia & Julie.

Next blog up is Politics see you then .
