    Hi, I saw you were online and I figured it had to be on this side of the Atlantic! I'm in England by the way. (transplanted New Yorker).

    Terrific selection of Books and Movies. Resevioir Dogs, a quiet classic. I just can't get into *The Shield.* Bad cops turn me off.

    Very good. truly. I admire Europeans for that. I did take Spanish at school, so i could get around (pathetically) in Spain and I love French, I have tried. Finnish though I once heard is more similar to Hungarian? Is that true? go easy with me if what I just said is stupid!

    thanks for that! Love your "i.d." picture. sometimes I feel like doing that to people I deal with! Like the book sellers who just emailed me and informed me that a book was sent out on the 14 of August, when it wasn't ordered until 7 September. I just stopped smoking and I am getting stressed! all the best to you!

    It's a cover for a seventies Finnish crime digest. Probably the ugliest and stupidest cover I've ever seen.

    I feel I should almost apologize for lightening up your recent reading, considering your blog posts above! I mean, those stories are dark, but not the same shade of black as Hard Man (which I loved) etc.

    Juri, I honestly don't know what the date of that piece was. Tribe had to send me a copy because I no longer had one and he did that a month or so ago.
