***"Aquarium" is an entertaining reading as well, but
not that mind-stimulating. Suvorov's version of the
"story" in Icebreaker looks extremely convincing.

It sure feels that way, but I am gradually digesting it now and reducing to some smaller forms. There is something there that is still bothering me. Besides his rather simple style it is his attitude sometimes. I was particularly put back by the concluding chapters to the "Ochischeniye" where I was about to simply toss it towards the end. Shame really, because all the way through about 80% it was fascinating, and then he suddenly changes the tone and begins to sound like a yellow press writer.

***Long time ago I recommended the book to Zheem,
but his Russian isn't up to the job yet I'm afraid. :)

I believe he should be able to get it in English - the cover says it has been translated into 785 languages, or some such.

So I presume you missed the Globe... too bad. It definitely looks like Julia Roberts has 52 teeth where normal humans have 32. How else could she possible cover that 10 inch long mouth from ear to ear with tight white perls?

My wife has been begging me to install the dish to receive the NTV with all the movies. I keep saying it will face the trees. Plus there is apparently rumor of the NTV demise... but I really don't want to turn into the Russian movies junkie - our friend is already such animal.
