Saturday Snapshot [1]

on Saturday, January 15, 2011

This week I decided to participate in the Saturday Snapshot meme hosted by Alyce at At Home with Books.

This picture was part of a “Wall of Fame” displayed at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre I visited a few months ago to watch the local adaptation of Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis. I was particularly awed to find many famous names from the performing arts scene around the world.

It looks like one of those clickable word-clouds you see on web pages. Yes, many fabulous names here indeed :)

That is really cool! I recognize a lot of names, but there were many that are new to me too. It makes me want to check out all of them to see what they did.

Very cool! At first (as someone else mentioned) I thought I was looking at one of those word clouds.

Got mine up if you'd like to take a peek: http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2011/01/saturday-snapshot-january-15.html

Currently Reading

This is the third novel in Jeffrey Archer's compelling saga, the Clifton Chronicles.

1945. The vote in the House of Lords as to who should inherit the Barrington family fortune has ended in a tie. The Lord Chancellor's deciding vote will cast a long shadow on the lives of Harry Clifton and Giles Barrington. Harry returns to America to promote his latest novel, while his beloved Emma goes in search of the little girl who was found abandoned in her father's office on the night he was killed. When the General Election is called, Giles Barrington has to defend his seat in the House of Commons and is horrified to discover who the Conservatives select to stand against him.

But it is Sebastian Clifton, Harry and Emma's son, who ultimately influences his uncle's fate. In 1957, Sebastian wins a scholarship to Cambridge, and a new generation of the Clifton family march onto the page. After Sebastian is expelled from school, he unwittingly becomes caught up in an international art fraud involving a Rodin statue that is worth far more than the sum it raises at auction.

Does he become a millionaire? Does he go to Cambridge? Is his life in danger? Best Kept Secret will answer all these questions, but once again, pose so many more.
