Noticed you liked The Virgin Suicides, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a dysfunctional family and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

I'm guessing that everyone on Book of the Month must enjoy listing their favourite books so why not come and join in on Desert Island Books (on Book Talk).

Hi Carla. Thanks for your remarks on my photos. One likes to hear such flattering things. :-)
Kind regards Christian

Redmond folks :-)
In fact I admire what Bill Gates and Microsoft have done and achieved - quite a lot indeed.
It is just that having used Linux for almost 15 years now, I have become used to some things that I do not find in the Microsoft world in the same way - especially the Open Source approach which to me not only means "cheap" software, but more importantly the direct and mostly friendly and supportive contact to developers.
On the other hand I do use Windows in my practice and for special software (homoeopathy e.g.) that does not really work too well with Linux yet.
So Redmon is ok, really. Don´t be put off :-)
