I'm going to break the roadblock of an N by cheating:

Nightwatch

either by Terry Pratchett or Sergei Lukyanenko, on RegeneratioN.

I know I've used one of them, and suspect I've used the other, but I'm not sure, so I'll pretend I didn't.

The Pratchett is perhaps my favorite of this funny, slapstick, ironic, satirical writer of fantasy.  The Lukyanenko is the first of a fantastical Russian trilogy involving the usual conflict of good and evil, which has somehow been reduced to a bureaucracy.  The first two have been made into movies--I saw Nightwatch, which was pretty good in its bleak way.

Hi Gumtree, I'm in a summer Latin class and just finally got back to "Title Mania"

Nice hearing from you this a.m. in the states. How is the weather in Australia today?

It's been very hot here in Connecticut! Finally getting some relief today --Temperature

is 74 degrees right now.  Fran

Fran Hope you enjoyed the summer Latin. I bombed out - had a health issue and am not yet back to strength and finding it hard to think.

You shouldn't have asked about our weather - it's freezing - literally. Around 0deg C minimum every day lately. Unusual for us in Perth on the west coast. My son who lives in Sydney is getting it worse - minus 4.3C this morning. The cold air drifted up from Antarctica and has settled over the continent so temps are down all over Australia at the moment- Cold is one thing  - what we need is rain.

It's 11.40pm here and Wimbledon telecast is about to begin. I'll watch for an hour or so - unless it gets exciting and then who knows what time I'll get to bed.    :o

Racundra's First Cruise

Arthur Ransome, on CountRy

Arthur Ransome wrote a number of children's stories dealing with sailing, mostly in the Lake District, but elsewhere too.  I adored them as a child, and they got me hooked on sailing stories for life.  I didn't know about this book until recently.  It's a factual account of his sailing in the Baltic after WWI.  I just got it from Amazon (yes, through Seniorlearn) and am looking forward to reading it.  I have to admit I still like the children's books.  They're written for 10 year olds, but the sailing is very good.
