Before I regained gainful employment, I was combating my lack of activity by spending a fair amount of time each day on an exercise bike and reading a lot of Peter Cheyney, Edgar Wallace and the like (getting through a book every couple of days).

Presently I'm back to reading mainly books about film (easier to dip in and out of) ... presently Fredric Dannen's 'Hong Kong Babylon'. This as I've been on a bit of an extended Hong Kong film binge for the last year or so. I must have watched a little over 200 so far. It's gotten to the point where I can tell the original Cantonese audio track from the dubbed Mandarin track. Not happy when Anthony Wong sounds wrong.
