<li><p><em>Glory Lane</em>, by Alan Dean Foster, copyright 1987; Ace, August
1987. Amusing in some respects, but one of Foster's lesser efforts.</p></li>
<li><p><em>The Surgeon's Mate</em>, by Patrick O'Brian, copyright 1981; First
published in 1980 by William Collins Sons & Co Ltd; W.W. Norton and
Company, Inc, 1992. After facing the apparent diminution of the
affections that have driven him for years, Stephen Maturin finds that
they have <em>not</em> diminished, rather that they have been muted for a
time, and is given the strongest possible evidence that his affections
are returned in a measure greater than he could have hoped for, with
the long-sought but previously unlikely outcome. Strongly recommended,
but it's necessary to have read a number of other books in the series
for the full effect, perhaps most importantly <em>Post Captain</em>.</p></li>

<p>I enjoy reading the newsgroup <a class="reference external" href="news:comp.lang.ada">comp.lang.ada</a>,
because there are number of people there who are doing commercial work
with very high quality requirements and interesting problems to solve.
It's nice to listen to folks who really work to get things <em>right</em>.
And sometimes it's just a relief to read code that's written with a
clear syntax.</p>
<p>Speaking of Ada 200Y, Martin Dowie has <a class="reference external" href="http://www.martin.dowie.btinternet.co.uk/">back-port to Ada 95</a> of some of the new <a class="reference external" href="http://groups.google.com/groups?dq=&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=ce8pjj%247an%241%40titan.btinternet.com&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26group%3Dcomp.lang.ada">Ada

<li><p><em>When the Legends Die</em>, by Hal Borland, copyright 1963; narrated by
Norman Dietz; Recorded Books, Inc., 1991. I read this book when I was a
young teenager. When I listened to it this time (in my car, mostly
going to and from work), I was struck again by how the new medium
presented it a-new to my mind, striking afresh into my thoughts.</p></li>
<li><p><em>Rupert of Hentzau</em>, by Anthony Hope; first published in Great
Britian by J.W. Arrowsmith in 1898; published in one volume with <em>The
Prisoner of Zenda</em> by Penguin Books, 2000. I've read <em>The Prisoner of
Zenda</em> several times, read new interpretations of it by George
MacDonald Fraser and others, and seen at least a couple of movie
versions of it, but I'd never read its sequel, <em>Rupert of Hentzau</em>. It
apparently wasn't as popular as the original, and has been criticised
as too complicated and not active enough, and I can understand why.
However, it's still a worthwhile read on its own merits, and it does
serve to complete the story that <em>The Prisoner of Zenda</em> left open.</p></li>

<p>Lacking Natural Simplicity is one, not particularly flattering,
definition of sophisticated.
This blog chronicles my journey through our at times too complicated
