Coincidence

I just mentioned "Atonement" in my last blog post, and a couple of days later I got an e-mail from Amazon about the trailer for the movie, which is apparently coming out Dec. 7. I'm not always a fan of movies made from books, but the trailer looks pretty good.

Once again I have been delinquent in posting... I am currently reading "The Looming Tower: Al Qaeda and the Road to 9/11," by Lawrence Wright. It won the Pulitzer Prize for 2007, so I am counting it for the Book Awards Reading Challenge. It's incredibly enlightening on the origins of Islamic fundamentalism—I will write more about it when I finish. I'm about halfway through but now it has to go on hiatus so I can read "Suite Francaise" for my new book group. That is, if I can find the book in the jungle of recently-moved boxes in my apartment....
