Or should I stick to my old Leica? And continue just to scan the films with my Minolta film scanner? I think I will for the time being, just to punish myself for having lost the digital camera, my fault anyway, like when I lost my Hasselblad 510CM, sic....
Just read "THE EIGHT" by Catherine Neville, interesting book, I read also 75% of her "The magic circle", before I got to finish the book...., well, I lost it, boh, it was a french translation, I will get it in english next time. I am readin her "A calculated risk" now, not as good as the eight, a little bit boiring in the middle, lot of stuff about banking and money. When I find a interesting book, then I usualy hunt for all the books of the author and read everything they have written. Bad habit for my bank account...
Another book I read, but have not lost yet is "Friends in high places" by Donna Leon, nice books this writer writes, with her main character Commissario Guido Brunetti. Looking around on the internet about info about Donna Leon I stumbled upon web pages dedicated to condemn her writing. Needless to say, the authors of these web pages are italians..., that do not like that a american woman has invented a italian commissario as her hero in all her books. Why? Everybody likes commissario Montalbano, is it because his author is italian? Well, who knows, in any case I have read all Donna Leon's book's and I liked them a lot, but then I have a soft spot for Venezia, (and Firenze).
There are other women writers that I have found interesting, that write detective stories, like : P.D James, Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs, Ruth Rendell and soforth.
Soforth? Well, can't remember any other authors at the moment only many interesting women photographers..., but this is enough for today, have to go to the bookshop :-)
