We watched Antiques Roadshow from New Mexico yesterday and found it especially interesting because of the paintings and artifacts from the region. Mrs. Enthusiast is soon to find herself out of Tony Hillerman books. We will try the Anne Hillerman's books after we exhaust our supply of Tony's.

I understand your feelings on the American South. I'm just about finished with To Kill a Mockingbird. I cannot imagine Atticus Finch as anyone other than the Gregory Peck character from the movie. That isn't an entirely bad thing as Peck was simply fabulous in the role. Mrs. Enthusiast was very disturbed by To Kill a Mockingbird. I think this might stem from the fact that she had just read The Poisonwood Bible. I have yet to read The Poisonwood Bible so I can't say for certain.

I very much hope things are going well for you.
