In reply to Catherine. Hi Catherine, Yes we just rented Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf which I had never seen. It's quite a tour de force! Next up, Cleopatra. Yeah the Beauty of Humanity opened up the world of Hanoi to me. I will read this author again. Enjoy your Christmas.

This book sounds fascinating! I’ve read a number of Vietnam books and enjoyed them (including The Sympathizer), but as you mentioned they were all set in Saigon. Adding this one to my list!

Bonham Cater looks gorgeous on that cover, but think I will take a pass on this movie and hold onto the Burton/Taylor of Cleopatra and even Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.

In reply to Ti. That would be good if you get rain in Calif. I will cross my fingers. 35 degrees is pretty darn cold for there. I'm so excited to be flying to the OC next week! Merry Christmas.

I really don’t think I could survive in cold like that. If it hits 30 here in the morning I am literally incapacitated and cannot get out of the car. It hasn’t hit that yet. The lowest so far was 35. We are supposed to get a lot of rain today. We’ll see if it actually happens.

In reply to The Reader’s Tales.

Thanks RT, Happy Holidays to you as well. Glad you saw the Burton & Taylor movie. Yeah I thought it was sad too. I think I will try to rent Who is Afraid of Virginia Woolf this week — as I don’t recall it well and I’ve heard it’s great. Thanks for the tip on that! I will let you know if I see it.

In reply to Bryan G. Robinson. Yeah Bryan : it's seems the cold has hit a lot of places right now, argh! I think we're going to try to rent Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf as I don't remember it clearly. I heard it's great. Thx for stopping by.

I loved your winter story, I imagine your Labrador playing with her ball… she is too cute, and full of life.
Yes, Susan I saw this film on television (it’s been a few months already) and I loved it, although I found it sad. This legendary couple has marked me by their acting performance in “Who is afraid of Virginia Woolf” a masterpiece. If you have not seen it, I advise you. Happy Holidays and See you soon Susan. 😉

Yikes on the cold. It’s supposed to get cold here tomorrow (northern Pennsylvania), but 15 degrees above zero Fahrenheit for the high and low in the negatives somewhere. I have not seen the movie or read the books. However, I did enjoy Burton and Taylor in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? And I have read Virginia Woolf, with To The Lighthouse being one of my favorite classics.

In reply to JoAnn @ Lakeside Musing. Hi JoAnn, yeah it's not a fast read, but it's a good one. Sorry about the Arctic blast. It's dreadful. Aren't you headed for Florida about now? I'll stop by your site to hear the latest.

In reply to Michelle. Thanks Michelle. Yes I will be flying out of here for better temps. I hope you don't get our weather there. Ugh.
