Hi Everyone.  Well it’s been a week since my seizure and studio time has been slow. Actually, to be honest, it’s been nonexistent.  I’ve mostly been doing little bits of house work and hanging around in the living room knitting while I listen to audio books.  I don’t have the attention span or patience to listen to only one at a time, so here’s the current active list:

Lord on the Rings (I’m still on The Fellowship.  Man is it boring.  Peter Jackson is a genius!  He made a ton of good plot modifications)

The Ascent of Money by Niall Ferguson (Which is a history about how currency developed and it’s function is the modern world.  It was written after the  market pooped itself, so it had some very relevant insights.)

The Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters (The first in her series of Egyptian mysteries.)

And

My Man Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse (The first collective of the Jeeves and Wooster stories.  It’s hilarious, in a dry British way.  And it’s narrated by my favorite narrator of all time, Simon Prebble.  If you liked Jim Dale’s work with the Harry Potter series check him out.  I think him blows him out if the water.  But maybe I am biased because he also reads Jonathan Strange and Mister Norrell, which is, I think my ultimate favorite book of all time.)

As you can see, my list is very heavy on the British literature.  In fact all of the authors are British.  There are so many references to specific streets so I really need a map of London.

As an aside….”Beware the ides of March”….on the other hand, maybe some of our political leaders could do with a healthy dose of assassination.
