Still finishing up a book series I've been working on for a while, but felt like having an audiobook in the car instead of music or talk radio for a while.

In the mood for something fast-paced but not formulaic...so now I'm re-"reading" The Millennium Series by Steig Larsson (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, etc).

I just finished "Life," Keith Richard's autobiography. (Or would it be biography, since he had a writer.) Richards, as you will recall, was a Rolling Stones guitarist, the original out-of-control rock and roller, and once was #1 on a list of ten clebrities likely to die in the following year. He is now at 70 or so, living in an estate down state from me and seems to be none the worse for wear. There's a wonbderful picture in the book of him sitting on a couch surrounded by his wife their children and lovely grandbabies. In "Life" he gives a recipe for his beloved bangers and mashed

by Franz Schmidt

This is a diary of an executioner who lived in Nuremberg. It's a fascinating account of crime and punishment and the executioner's feelings during the late 1500's.
