I've just finished A Kim Jong-Il Production: The Extraordinary True Story of a Kidnapped Filmmaker, His Star Actress, and a Young Dictator's Rise to Power by Paul Fischer, read by Steve Park. It's a fascinating window into Kim Jong-Il's repressive dictatorship of North Korea, as, a notorious cinemaphile, he tried to revive North Korea's moribund film industry by kidnapping South Korea's leading director and actress. It's both fascinating and horrifying, if a scootch too long for my tastes.
So for something mindless over the long holiday weekend, I've cued up an old reliable, the 20th Sharpe novel by Bernard Cornwall, Sharpe's Waterloo, read by Frederick Davidson. Tough luck, Napoleon! Sharpe is invincible.
Only one more Sharpe novel to go after this one.
