I just finished reading The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, really enjoyed reading it but I actually liked the movie better. The two present quite different stories but the movie felt more credible and definitely more upbeat which I have to confess I liked.

I've been reading a lot, just not writing reviews. I think my brain has stopped working. My thoughts have dried up. Just finished a non-fiction title, Between Man and Beast. a book about an explorer of the Congo who wrote about the Lowland Gorilla, The book is set within the context of the discussion of the theory of evolution, Then I read a mystery called A Sunless Sea about the opium trade, specifically about the fortunes to be made by selling opium to an uninformed public.
