Oh How I would love to read Kallentoft! Unfortunately have not been able to find any translated versions Guess I'll just have to wait and see ...

I am pretty sure you can buy an English translation on Amazon. I borrowed the French one from my public library. For the other Kallentoft's books, I'll have to find the English versions as I think Midwinter sacrifice is the only one that as been translated in French up to now.

Today I started The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. I am through 3 of the 'letters' so far and it is very interesting. Satire, with a serious point.

Just started The Disappearing Spoon : And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements by Sam Kean. Sounds like a very interesting read.

The title comes from the element Gallium - which if made into a spoon will disappear in a cup of tea - as it melts at 84°F.

I am reading "Seabiscuit An American Legend" by Laura Hillenbrand.

For those who enjoy historical novels: I have just finished reading Kate Morton's "Riverton House"; a great read. I have her second novel "The Forgotten Garden" and can't wait to get into it as well. Morton researches her material well and has a unique approach to storytelling - I really like her style.

Last weekend hired our the girl with the dragon tattoo, then went to the movie the girl who played with fire, and have now just finished the book, even though i had seen the film, i found the books just as exciting, and very close in context to the movie, only a few differences,I just love this whole triology, i cannot wait for the next film, i think i now prefer to see the film first then read the book, hurry up film come down under, has it been released in the US yet,? i see they are doing a re-make of the girl with the dragon tattoo in the US, that will be interesting i suppose, although cannot see why really.

I have a further 25 books here waiting to be read, most of them Maeve Binchy books, although i love her writing after reading Stieg Larssons book, they are a little on the dull side in comparison, but i still enjoy them.
