There is a very lovely tribute to my aunt Gertrud online. Click on slideshow or movie. Niether my sister nor I are in the images, but my parents are.

John Le Carre: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
old book revisited (*****)
Sharon Stiteler: Disapproving Rabbits
Not quite as funny as the Bunny Suicides or Bad Cat, but for bunny aficionados, it's a must. Hermione and Nala Disapprove. (****)
The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume Two A: The Greatest Science Fiction Novellas of All Time Chosen by the Members of The Science Fiction Writers of America (SF Hall of Fame)
I've never read much science fiction. Maybe never hit the right books. But this anthology was a "best of" and I enjoyed pretty much all of them, though the last in the collection was pretty much a downer. (****)
Peter Nichols: Evolution's Captain: The Dark Fate of the Man Who Sailed Charles Darwin Around the World
An absolutely fascinating book. (*****)
Christopher Paolini: Eragon (Inheritance, Book 1)
A bit derivative, but considering it was written by a teenager, quite an accomplishment. It will be interesting to see wha this writer does when he's older. (****)
Robert K. Massie: Romanovs:, The: The Final Chapter
Grim, but interesting. (****)
Gregory Maguire: Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
(*****)
