Just finished Mandelbaum Gate. There's something of a travelogue to it as well as political and religious debate and I was depressingly reminded just how long established the Arab-Israeli conflict is. I particularly liked the way the book was humanized by aspects of popular literature/film: thriller plot with nail-biting climax, espionage, erotic interest.

I'm with the British company Lovefilm, now taken over by Amazon. Their DVD-by-post catalogue is full of riches (they claim to have every DVD available in the UK) and has been keeping me going for years, but their streaming service is so slight - emphasis on TV series and kids' favourites - that I quickly watched all I wanted to and cancelled that part of the service. So quality movies keep coming in for £4 a month on an average of 2 a week and I'm not complaining! I've had a brief look at what's on offer on Netflix streaming and there's clearly nothing there for me.

Back in the day I too read all of his books ... not sure I would enjoy them as much now. Anyway one book about him that is definitely worth reading is "The Letters of Evelyn War" edited by Mark Amory. It shows him as funny (particulary in his letters to Nancy Mitford) witty and suprisingly kind when writing to his family. Used copies probably going cheap on Amazon...... Be sure to read "The Loved One" even though it's later Waugh. Agree.
