"The Warden"

It feels a bit odd to be reviewing a book that was published a century and a half ago. On the other hand, Anthony Trollope is not that well known these days (although there was a brief flurry of interest in his Palliser novels a couple of decades ago), and The Warden is not one of his best-known works.

Wotthehell. I feel like talking about it, OK?

( The plot )

It's a short book and a relatively uneventful one, but the main characters are memorable, and I enjoyed it as much on this rereading as I did the first time through, some thirty years ago.

Sci-Fi Friday

I decided to give Stargate a try tonight. (Guesses as to why are invited; there is more than one correct answer.) I will say only that, around the halfway mark, Murphy was peering at me worriedly from around a corner. I'll be back for at least one more episode. Thanks, incidentally, to jeriendhal, whose fic gave me a fighting chance of understanding what was going on.

Meanwhile, I await BSG's season premiere.
