I'm working my way through Sharon Kay Penman's historical novels on the Plantagenets, currently reading ``Here be Dragons''. It describes Wales during the thirteenth century and King John's ascendancy and reign. Many of the good stories and plays and comedies about medieval times are based upon this family and this time period (``Lion in Winter'', ``Robin Hood -- Men in Tights'', etc...).
Started the day with a fabulous Hao Ya A which I received as a sample from Jing Tea Shop. Followed with Mark T Wendell's ``Royal Red Robe''; it was OK once I learned how to brew it.
Have a good weekend folks.

I am currently reading a novel by John Grisham called "Playing For Pizza". It is one of only a few books by Grisham that is not about courts and law. It is the story of a young, down and out NFL football player that leaves the states to play American Football in Parma, Italy. It is a very interesting book even though I am not a football fanatic. The descriptions of the food served in the resteraunts makes me hungry too.
I am also slowly getting through the last book of the Clan of the Cave Bear series by Jane Auel, Caller the "Shelters of Stone." This has been an exaustively tedious series to read that could have been cut in half and been much better.

That looks like Mecha supercharged with Matcha! 
In the middle of reading Nevada Barr's "Hunting Season" and drinking Adagio's White Peach tea on a sunny and mild Saturday afternoon here in central NC.

Fiction: I'm reading the new Ciaran Carson translation of The Tain, which is deliciously clever and accessible.
Nonfiction: How to be Useful by Megan Hustad, an eye-opening perspective on advancing in an office while keeping your sanity and not becoming jaded. It's The Prince for the aspiring cubicle monkey, and I'd recommend it to anyone having difficulty with office politics and achieving career goals.
