  • listened to How Managers Make Things Happen by George Odiorne (1995)

  • listened to Reinventing Work : The Work Matters by Tom Peters (2000), read by the author, who shouts a lot and likes numbered lists. What the heck is a nub?

  • listened to Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (1932)

  • listened to Havana Bay by Martin Cruz Smith (1999)

    Arkady (of Gorky Park fame) is back, Irina's gone, Pridluda's been murdered? Replace Cuban heat for Russian cold, familiar twists and turns. G. Park is still the best, but Arkady lives on.

  • listened to Jingo by Terry Pratchett (2000)

  • listened to Myth as Metaphor by Joseph Campbell (1992)

  • watched The Spanish Prisoner (1997)

    EXCELLENT!!! Will keep you guessing to the very end. A bit over-the-top at times: "fingerprints on the book... fingerprints on the book... fingerprints on the book..."

  • watched Chicken Thing (1985) -- it was a dark and stormy night... and children should not watch scary TV programs

  • watched The Crimson Rivers (2000) -- it was a dark and stormy night... predictable, violent, you expect a twist ending, but get exactly what you already knew would happen after seeing the first 5 minutes
