Survivors: The animals and plants that time has left behind by Richard Fortey. Started it long time ago, now I'm going to finish it. Mr Fortey writes great books, but you must stay focused all the time.


There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Just finished The Hunt for Red October again. Not surprisingly, I loved it (again). On to Patriot Games.

"Mes Oiseaux de Feu" (Firebirds) by Charles Demoulin, the autobiography of a Belgian pilot in the RAF. It was the first aviation book I ever read, when I was around 7 or 8, and I really enjoyed re-reading it now!

I think I'll go back to John LeCarré after this.

Tell a little about "Papillon." Is this the same as the movie with Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman?

Make sure you read Punk's War before Punk's Wing. It will set the stage for you.
