Eat to Live

I've written before of my (until now successful) weight loss efforts. The book that made a decisive difference was Joel Fuhrman's "Eat to Live", which I read as an eReader ebook on my Palm. For those of you still hesitating, I'd just like to let you know that eReader recently substantially dropped the price of this ebook. One less reason not to read it...

GTD as an eBook at last

It has taken some time, but Getting Things Done is at long last available as an eBook. Given the fact that many GTD fans use a Palm to implement the methodology, this seems to be a good thing. It'll certainly allow me to have the book with me all the time, in case I want to check out something or brush up some aspect of it.

The Inspector Lynley Mysteries

I watched an episode of "The Inspector Lynley Mysteries" on television yesterday night. Although the series, which is based on the novels by Elisabeth George, is already running since a few weeks, it's only the first time I got around to actually watching it.

Now I've been a huge fan of the novels by Elisabeth George since I discovered them some ten years ago. I have all her novels, and even managed to read about half of them. They struck me as well written, well plotted, and also psychologically interesting. So I wondered how those rather thick books (several hundred pages) could be turned into a 90-minute episode each.

The one I saw yesterday, "In the Presence of the Enemy", was not a good test case as I didn't read the book yet. But as episodes in a British crime serials go, it was well made. I cannot tell from this single episode if it is up to the standard of some other favourites like Morse, A Touch of Frost, Dalziel & Pascoe or Silent Witness, but it looks promising. Which means I'll probably try to watch a few more in the coming weeks (not evident in the light of my current very light TV diet...)
