TOD -
Book - just about finished with The Secret Life of Lobsters, by Trevor Corson. I've been enjoying it quite a bit. Next up is Craig Claiborne's memoir, A Feast Made for Laughter, which I understand is as much about sex as it is about food.
DVD - last night I finally got around to watching Shaun of the Dead, which I enjoyed. It's probably not the sort of thing der Grampa and I should show to the grandlads, of course - the frequent use of the F-word is a wee bit problematical. But, for Doctor Who fans, it of course has Simon Pegg, who played The Editor in the ep "The Long Game," and Penelope Wilton as Pegg's mother, who was wonderful in "Aliens of London/World War Three" and "The Christmas Invasion" as MP (later PM) Harriet Jones. (For those who aren't Doctor Who fans, just sit back and enjoy the head-bashings.)
