A nice lady ordered three books from me today. Unfortunately for me, I'll only clear about $15. But it'll be 3 fewer books to take up space.
Today I watched the movie "Mr. Brooks" on TV. See there--K. Costner can play a very un-nice guy. I loved William Hurt as his ego. If they would just do something about Demi Moore's hair, she would be a lot better-looking. A wig or something. Whoopie Goldberg has better hair. But I guess it's too late now, DM's getting too old to change, like the rest of us.
Patrick O'Brian's The Mauritius Command was a bit of a disappointment. I'm glad Aubrey wound up as just a post captain at the end. This book rather obnubilates the series (one of Maturin's words; for a Spanish-Irishman, he has an amazing English vocabulary).

I forgot--yesterday I signed up for Free Kindle Online. Hard to believe: the hand-held device is so expensive, but you get the same thing online free, if I understand what I read.

Good news on the books! As for Aubry, I thought M___ was pretty good, but I'm interested in the pitfalls of command, and the difficulty of judging people. And I thought that the "want to be Aubry" captain and his alcoholic doctor were interesting as (intentionally) inferior copies of Aubry and Maturin.
Do you want me to bring the next couple with me when I come to Leeds, or are you ready to take a break?
Have a good week! Jed
Hooray for free Kindle! I plan to do that myself!
