well, bethellsigns, it's so interesting that you mention "House of Sand and Fog," the movie, in your comment on my previous entry. having finished all my library books, except for Brick Lane, which G is currently reading, i picked up an old reader's copy of House of Sand and Fog which has been lying around for a couple of years. it is a totally compelling read, a terrible thing to have started while the DC group was visiting and i had to be social and auntly and fun and active. when all i wanted to do was curl up in a nest of quilts and read this ghastly story of spiraling awfulness. our company has just departed, and we really had a ton of fun, but now i can devote myself to seeing who falls apart first and worst in this book. i reserve judgment yet on seeing it as a movie. love that Ben Kinglsey, however.
sad note over the weekend, another of my favorite actors, Alan Bates, died of cancer at the far too young age of 69. a fine and literate actor, often appearing in fine literate films. i will miss him quite a lot.
