Yes, it's Greece. I've said it a few times before. I know how to say 'thank you' in Greek like I was born there! At least that's what they said. Also: Greek men are the most sexy I've ever seen. Have you seen Greek women? I bet there is another Greek word you definitely know...

Where do you live if I'm allowed to ask? Yes, it's Greece. I've said it a few times before. I'm really astonished that "Bond" wasn't translated into the Greek before.

We even had many Bind graphic novels published in Greece and some Bond novels written by other authors too, but no Fleming novel. Of course if some of them were translated in Greek back in the 50s and 60s with no reprints, I wouldn't know.

I'm still working my way through Kalevala. There are several morals to take from Leminkainen's tragic tale.
1. If you want to get a girl's hand in marriage, don't kill every able bodied man in town before asking her mother. 2. If the mother then says that you have to [insert task here] before marrying her daughter, and you do that and then she says that you have to do something else... well, go do that second thing. If she then tells you that you MUST DO SOMETHING ELSE, just give up, the girl isn't worth this. 3. If you must kill every able bodied man in town, don't leave one man alive and mock him to his face that he's a loser, because he is 100% going to hold that against you and murder your ass the moment your back is turned.

Recently started King Lear, by Shakespeare. So far, it makes a strong case for anyone not wanting to have children.

Rebecca, Daphne Du Maurier. I remember starting this when I was eleven or twelve but never finished it for some reason. I can't remember why. For some reason, I decided to pick it up again and I'm really enjoying it so far.

For Christmas I picked up vols II and III of the big Callow Orson Welles biography and Blood Meridian, which I am finally getting around to reading. I'll be busy for a little bit.

Jerzy Kosinski - Passing By - re-read
A collection of his essays and magazine articles it is pretty revealing in how his mind worked and how he saw people, places, events. Some really great one-liners in these pieces too.

Ava Gardner "Love is Nothing" by Lee Server. It's incredible, right? It reads just like a novel. It's so good,one of the best and most detailed biographies I've ever read.It's a real deep dive into her relationships with Sinatra and Artie Shaw,amongst others.Her life was so fascinating.

The Enigma of Al Capp (1999) by Alexander Theroux (the brilliant, cactaceous Theroux—one of the greatest living writers). This was a very quick read - a monograph on the brash and controversial creator of Li’l Abner, an influential comic strip that kicked off in the ‘30s with its Southern set social-political satire and verbal rambunction. I haven’t read ‘em but I’m a fan of the strip it’s often paired with, my cherished Pogo which launched a decade after Abner - except the infinitely wise, witty Walt Kelly of Pogo was no Capp who became a very ugly-spirited man.
Two fun notes: Stan Lee once worked for Capp, and Capp invented words, like hogwash and double-whammy.
