  1. Deborah Harkness's John Dee's Conversations with Angels, which is very well done. On a bit of a Dee binge at present--quite an intriguing fellow. Also just got a great V&A exhibit book, Gothic: Art for England 1400-1547.
  2. These are really lovely! There are quite a few on gettyimages.com also. He looks fantastic!
  3. P&P Blue Train. There are very few pieces of music that I love more than this one.
  4. Finding these kick-ass Biba boots on sale at Neiman Marcus and buying them with my Xmas gift card:
  5. I really like this one, too:
  6. Ross H. has some beauties up today (cheers, RH!). I love this one:
  7. Christopher Lehrich's The Occult Mind: Magic in Theory and Practice and John Michell's New View Over Atlantis. Both interesting, Michell especially so. Also, finally finishing Kate Mosse's Sepulchre. Fun, but not nearly as well done as Labyrinth.
  8. Well this thread shouldn't be so far down today! Happy birthday! xxoo AAK
  9. Yeah, the one sold last year was quite a large country estate (in Sussex maybe? I didn't pay enough attention at the time) as far as one could tell from what someone posted on the old board when it came on the market.
  10. Sebastian Faulks' Birdsong. It's really, really good--surprisingly so.
  11. I dig the silver fox look and all (especially with the ultra-cool Ray Bans), but am suddenly missing the dark locks. Perhaps they shall return someday...
  12. Definitely. An amazing album imho. George's considerable talents finally get full expression here. I've always loved The Beatles (first two albums I ever owned, aged three, were the second album and Sgt. Pepper's), but I wouldn't ever compare them to Zeppelin--they really are very different kinds of bands.
  13. I saw this in London last week--it was great, but I couldn't believe they ended it before the actual end of the first novel! My sister and I thought the projector guy wanted to knock off early or something and just cut the last scene, but apparently not! It'll really be a bummer if they don't make the next two films now. I also saw Elizabeth: The Golden Age the next day (cool litle cinema just a few blocks from our hotel), which I enjoyed quite a bit as well. It wasn't as good as the first Blanchett Elizabeth film--a bit static for the first hour--but Clive Owen was great and the last several scenes with the Armada sinking and all were really well done. On the plane home, I saw Stardust, which was really cute, and also The Invasion (which I watched mostly for the Daniel Craig bits and was reasonably well-rewarded for the effort *smirk*).
  14. John Wilcock's A Guide to Occult Britain. Quite a little treasure I picked up from Atlantis (in Bloomsbury) on Saturday--it did indeed find a good home!
  15. Just starting Kate Mosse's follow-up to Labyrinth, Sepulchre. I loved the first one--hope this will be as good!
  16. What a fab pic, Lady H! You look lovely!
  17. I was thinking the same thing! Btw, that's a lovely pic of you, Aqua.
  18. Lovely pic and so nice to see you again!
  19. Cheers, kb! To many good times to come in in the pub of Zeppelin! :-J

  20. Haha! Taking 'member name' very seriously, eh?

  21. I absolutely love this new one taken by RH, but I'm not sure if it's cool to put it into my photobucket so that I can post it here, so here's the link for now: Jimmy at Classic Rock Awards
