On my break

I'm back from a short break. I had a chance to catch up on some books and a movie.

I loved Transformers: well written, very funny, great special effects and action. Very entertaining. Take your teenage kids.

I've discovered Michael Robotham's thriller/detective books: I read Suspect and Lost and have his new book The Night Ferry on order.  Great characters.

Eat, pray, love : one woman's search for everything across Italy, India, and Indonesia by Elizabeth Gilbert, is one of the most sensitive self-discovery memoirs I've read for a while. She has a great voice.

The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon took a while to get into but his alternative world is fascinating.
