Over the years I have read quite a few. Some have made wonderful TV. <BR/>I haven't enjoyed either the Kate Brannigan or Lindsay Gordon series as much as the others.

If anything, I'm intrigued by the setting (so why has it taken me so long to read Aussie authors???) I fell in love with Australian movies about 20 years ago. Any idea why the Oz setting is off-putting to some?<BR/><BR/>What Helen Garner books would you recommend? I see she's written a lot. <BR/><BR/>Interesting screencast idea! I can see how that would be useful for visitors who don't get the whole blog thing and are for some reason nervous about leaving comments (which is common, I find!).<BR/><BR/>btw I love your accent :o)Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17088825824646534586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-20233066030279703132008-07-28T23:52:00.000+09:302008-07-28T23:52:00.000+09:30Is Beneath the Bleeding the first Val McDermid boo...Is Beneath the Bleeding the first Val McDermid book you've read? This year I became a fan of Wire in the Blood on TV, but I didn't realize until recently that the series was based on books! I've added her to my long wishlist, but I don't know anyone who's read her and can tell me how her books are.Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458684673836338986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-89429824029985585182008-07-28T07:18:00.000+09:302008-07-28T07:18:00.000+09:30I'm looking forward to THE GIRL TableTalk.

Just struggling with the Peter Hoeg at present.<BR/><BR/>I will be looking for some more van de Wetering Naida.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for dropping in Gautami. I'll come over and look at your blog sometime today.<BR/><BR/>John, I think you could very well read a story on the screencast. It would work well if you had some visuals showing as you read. I found the nearly 10 min screen cast created a 230MB .mov file though so the short files are the way to go. Then you can export them anywhere. I'll come over and look at your blog a bit later today too.Kerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581470363339796352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-4961688111605261432008-07-27T23:40:00.000+09:302008-07-27T23:40:00.000+09:30The screencast idea is strange.

It does give the idea that perhaps I could start using the add video feature so you could hear me performing my 50 word story( I do story-telling so not as odd as it sounds)<BR/><BR/>I also found Peter Hoeg slow going but not that book and by all account each book is completely different<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://blueidol-notesofabookdreamer.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow"> My Blog</A>John (@bookdreamer)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11576434749272275190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-38118371669066358742008-07-27T23:17:00.000+09:302008-07-27T23:17:00.000+09:30Some interesting thoughts there.
