Death on the Nile

Agatha

on Deja DeaD

Right at this minute I'm enjoying the morning sun streaming in through the window and my 'cup of tea' - we've had so much cold weather that I'm luxuriating in the comfortable warmth of the sunshine but know it won't be long before the days heat up again. - I really should go and do some work.

Endurance--Shackleton's Incredible Voyage

Alfred Lansing, om NilE

I didn't even realize I had this book. It's got JoanK's name, in her handwriting, inside. Er--do you want it back, Joan?

PatH · « **Reply #2206 on:** September 19, 2010, 10:47:58 PM »

Gumtree, It's well after supper for me, but we're going through those lovely fall days of blue skies and reasonable temperatures. No colorful leaves yet. We've passed (I hope) the record long stretch of 100 degree temperature with high humidity.

That book on Shackleton is great -- much better than his own account.

Neuromancer

William Gibson, on ErewhoN

I'm pretty sure I've used this before, and if anyone wants to call me on it I'll accept 20 lashes with a wet noodle and banishment for 3 turns, but at least I've broken the stalemate.

PatH · « **Reply #2211 on:** September 27, 2010, 12:12:42 AM »

I thought of this title because I went to a book signing by William Gibson today, and brought my battered paperback of Neuromancer for him to sign. Details in the Sci-Fi discussion for anyone who cares.

I didn't realise there was a stalemate - just haven't looked in.

This is a message for Joan K in Author,Author from Judy Shernock (JudeS).
My computer went down completely. Probably need to buy a new one. I am using an old laptop and I can't seem to get any message onto "Author,Author". You can call me at 408-255-1142 for the new clues or perhaps help me figure out how to connect with the Author, Author quiz.
Or someone else can be "IT".
Hope you see this. I will be home tomorrow after one PM CA time.
