GRAHAM GREENE ROCKS

Not exactly a progress report, but our book group read "Orient Express," by Graham Greene, which he wrote expressly to Sell To The Movies. It's a train adventure/thriller--you know, unlikely romances, daring escapes, and, of course, about nine thousand times more thoughtful than the average crap that is "written to sell to the movies." But like a good thriller, it never stops moving, even as it breaks your heart. I learned lots.
