still reading "the Med': a portrait of a sea, very well written combo of history, geography, oceanography, cultures, etc.
MSC: this weekend, later today in fact, on booktv will be a very lengthy presentation by Jimmy Carter, followed by some of the very active critics of his recent book. find out schedule/more at: www.booktv.org>

you get booktv on C-SPAN II on weekends, is very cool all weekend presenting nonfiction authors discussing their books, often reading from them. if c-span not available up in the frozen tundra where you live, you can watch through the web, at www.c-span.org they are a very cool set of channels.
saw much of the critics program, was well done point by point.
