    Some Coleridge too. An opium based beverage could help with the latter!
    Coincidentally, I'm just re-reading Colin Kirkus's "Let's Go Climbing"

    Another WWII one...

    "Agent Zigzag" by Ben Macintyre. About a petty English criminal (Eddy Chapman) who was recruited to be a double agent (for the Brits!). Nice 'staged' picture of Eddy in the book wearing an SS uniform!

    Cor, has no one read a book since Feb 22nd?

    Just finished a Wallander mystery ("The Man Who Smiled") by Henning Mankell. You might have seen the TV films they did recently with Ken Brannagh. Bloomin' good stuff, ending was disappointing on this one though.

    Still, on to the next Wallander - "The Fifth Woman"

    One's enough for me!

    Does that mean you'll be running barefoot Freddie?

    BTW - did you run H'field 10K? Where'd you come?

    Mr Tompkins in Wonderland, George Gamow.
    Mr Tompkins in Paperback, George Gamow.
    The Eightfold Way, Murray Gell-Mann & Yuval Ne'eman.
    The Pilgrim's Progress, John Bunyan.
