I got a book called "Unforgettable places to see before you die". Bit of a grim title but it is a really popular book here. Hardly a masterpiece but some nice photos and I found out about quite a few interesting places I didn't know about before.

I finished "The House of Nomura" - the rise to supremacy of the world's most powerful company: The inside story of the legendary Japanese dynnasty by Al Alletzhauser. Excellent read, but the only place I could find it was used on Amazon.

 

I'm now reading "Bringing Down The House" - Ben Mezrich. A story about 6 MIT students that figured out how to win counting cards in 'Vegas and took the casino's for millions playing blackjack.

nice Kintaro- I didn't know any of his other books- I reccommend ugly americans- the true story of the Ivy League cowboys!

Just finished The Broker by John Grisham it has a very unsatisfying ending, the whole business just falls flat.

Nearly completed Kim by Rudyard Kipling, a great book but tedious in places and written in an unusual style.

Starting Notes from a small island by Bill Bryson. My 3rd or 4th reading. I have to read it here on the minesite as my wife objects to the bed shaking and chortles if I try to read it at home.

Its pissing down here, but we'll be back to 40 degrees plus soon no doubt

Happy ski/boarding

Is that "Steve WAR! wo wo wo what is he good for!"
sorry couldnt resist the classic 12th man quote there.

Steve Waugh was shockingly notorious for 'not walking' when it was transparently clear to everyone that he was out (except the ump' as it seemed), great player but lost a lot of respect on that point for me
