OK, cheers. I thought it might be something like mochi but it's puffed rice compressed into cakes. I've never seen it before.

Up to now it's better. I've only read the first fifty pages but can say without doubt that you should read it.

East Of Eden - Elia Kazan (1955) Now, Voyager - Irving Rapper (1942) Hustlers - Lorene Scafaria (2019)

That sounds like it would be a huge hit in Tokyo. Just sprinkle with katsuobushi Chip butties have a long culinary history in the north of England. Recipe. Two slices of bread & butter Pile of chips on one slice. That's fries for non Brits. Liberal dose of salt and vinegar. Top with second slice. I have a chip butty when we have fish & chips at home. My wife, who is Japanese, is well used to them but initially looked on in disbelief. The Indians also got in on the act -

Well, umpteen million Indians would say otherwise. My missus puts ketchup and mustard on her hot dogs as a matter of course. BTW, what is a rice cake ?

The last one in the excellent Bell Elkins series. There are one or two novellas left to wrap things up.

The Furies - Anthony Mann (1950) Bullitt - Peter Yates (1968)

Remastered editions.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood - Quentin Tarantino (2019) I liked it but thought it was self indulgent, with an episodic recreation of a nostalgically imagined past given priority over any kind of real story telling. Too much fragmented detail crammed in just for the sake of it. Top marks for conjuring up an immersive visual treat, low marks for any real substance, although I liked the DiCaprio-Pitt double act.

Happy birthday, Bill. Hope you are well.
