You choose

Remember those 'choose your own adventure books?'  You got to decide what the character did and went to a certain page to find out the result upon the story.  Don't you know that every book is a 'choose your own adventure?'  Albeit you can't choose the ending or what the character does at a certain point, but you do get to choose your genre, your story, your character, your adventure.  Feel like some high seas adventure: Moby Dick or Horatio Hornblower or Treasure Island.  A trek into the disquiet future: Cat's Cradle or Brave New World.  Space, history, fantasy...anything your heart would desire and more!

Les Miserables

PBS has a new Les Miserables mini series out, I've only seen half an hour of it (without any sound or close captioning) on a recent flight, but it looks good.  Go see it, or better yet, read the medium length book!
