I think memorising the alphabet was the hardest part. I really like Russian, though! It’s a neat language, and one of the ones in demand for teachers in the USA.

I love this book.

If you want a book that provides a powerful, gut-punching account of WWII, The Pianist is it. Wladyslaw Szpilman was an amazing man for writing this and sharing it with humanity. His story, one of luck and perseverance, is touching and amazing.
My favourite aspect of the book is the side-story of Wilm Hosenfeld, the German Captain who saved his life. That man is my hero- he lived out heroism everyday through his conviction in God and morality over the Nazi machine.
Quality stuff.

You don’t get television like this very often. Babylon 5 is complex, wonderful, and original, and totally beats the Star-Trek copycat (Deep Space Nine).
JMS has great writing, but equally important, the actors make this show wonderful. They are vibrant and come across believably and likeably. The aliens and their cultures have a depth not common in most shows.
I loved this show the first time ‘round. The second time, I noticed a lot of stuff I missed, and I’m sure I’ll continue to appreciate re-watching it in the future. =)
