A stack of mystery novels, when bought for 50 cents at a library sale can give a lot of enjoyment. And anyone familiar with Trent's Last Case wouldn't pass up on Trent's own case, I felt.
I first came across Gibrat's wonderful painting when I visited Dupuis' website looking for newly appeared albums. There was also a new section with wallpapers, and the cover of Elke Raaf Pikt was amongst them.

It is seldom that I read a classic work from beginning to end, every page without skipping. The Anabasis is one such work. It's the story of how the author, Xenophon, managed to get command of ten thousand Greek soldiers (and their slaves, wives, boyfriends and cattle) and lead them around Anatolia back to Greece.

Our library sells used books (not just discarded library copies) for about fifty eurocents, and recently I came home with a stack of old mystery novels. Gun before butter was one of those, by a certain Nicolas Freeling. I'd never heard of the man, although he is apparently well-known, well-respected and still alive.

Python in a Nutshell is the latest addition to the small array of books that are always on my desk. The others are Present Day Political Organization in Chine, The Little Lisper, Practical C++ Programman, Van Dale Nederlands-=Engels, The Nine Songs, The Songs of the South, An Introduction to Buddhism, Learning the VI Editor, GUI Programming with Python uting the Qt Toolkit, Mastering Regular Expressions, The Concise Oxford, Python Cookbook and Het Romeinse Leger. One thing is clear: out of 14 books, 5 are O'Reilly titles. I must be a programmer.
