Dante Club

Good book by Matthew Pearl

My friend Debbie gave it to me for my birthday. It's taking me a while to get through it because I read at night and keep falling asleep. Not because it's boring by any means.

Set in Boston with Longfellow, Holmes, Lowell, and Fields (a publisher) making up the club - they are translating Dante. Took a bit to get into. After you are into it, you won't want to put it down. Well, unless it drops into your lap when you nod off because you are too tired to continue ;)

Neverland

An old movie I know, but I rented it and last night when I couldn't sleep, I watched it.

In the middle of the night, it's a very sweet movie. Not at all accurate - but still, it is neverland.
