1. Bedside book: Roseanna, the first Martin Beck mystery

Feb 2012

inspired by watching the Martin Beck mysteries from Sweden on MHz Worldview.

Purse book: Just finished "The Honourable Schoolboy" by John Le Carré. It's the book in between "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" and "Smiley's People," but unlike those two, it's never been filmed, and I think it would be unfilmable as a feature, since it takes place in about five different countries. It could possibly be a six-part miniseries like the Alec Guinness versionn of "Tinker, Tailor, Solder, Spy," but it would still be difficult.

I haven't decided yet what my next purse book will be.
