A Stuga On the Cusp of the Orust Riviera, tucked away next to a hobbit hole in the woods.

The Moon Is Down - John Steinbeck Withdrawn from Llanilltud Fawr English Department. No dedication.Opening: By ten-forty-five it was all over. The town was occupied, the defenders defeated, and the war finished. HATTIP: It was Melki reading this a short while ago that sent me ferreting out my copy. I couldn't help but see Klaus Kinski in the rĂ´le of Tonder.Uplifting read and suddenly I want to make millions of little blue parachutes to help those beleagured females in America who would prefer an abortion without the Victorian shame tactics, or how about a drop in Russia where the anti-Putin contingent would get a fair election result. Wait, even better - how about North Korea or Falun Gong adherents, Sudan even.A world full of blue parachutes to aid the metaphorical white hats.
