Netflix flicks seen since 9/27:
Australin with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. Not bad but too long.
The Italian with Russian actors. A Russian orphanage sells a ten year old boy to an Italian couple but before he can be delivered he escapes to search for his birth mother. My Russian's a little weak so I used subtitles most of the time.
Only Human with unknown (but good) actors. A Jewish girl brings her Palestinian fiance home to meet the parents. The family is loaded with characters which made for a funny movie.
Sharpe's Rifles a UK series (14 episodes). This is the first of the series which was good enough to order the second.

Books read since 9/27:
A Guide to the Birds of East Africa by Nicholas Grayson. An amusing bird-watching competition to see who gets the opportunity to ask a particular woman to the annual ball in a small town in Kenya.
Devil's Corner by Lisa Scottoline. An Philadelphia Assistant U.S. Attorney is involved in a drug case in the worst part of town. Not bad.
Nothing to Lose by Lee Child. This is another "Jack Reacher" novel. Jack is a 6'5" ex Marine MP who is a superman and can talk his way out of any situation he can't fight his way out. It was entertaining until the end when Child turned political (a bed-wetting liberal).
