"One of my favorite history books. It’s a story about the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary and of an epistolary and academic friendship between two men, one of whom (unbeknownst to the other) was an inmate at an insane asylum."

Movie Rating
Rowan Atkinson returns as MI7 spy Johnny English, in a film that is less farcical than the original; more a pastiche of a classic James Bond film (take your pick which), complete with gadgets galore.

Amusing enough, but nothing special.

Book Favorite

"An aging drag queen falls in love with a young revolutionary in Pinochet’s Chile. It’s a crime that Lemebel is so little known in the English-speaking world. This is one of the great novels of the past half century."
