Readers’ Bloc 2009, friend of PacMan edition
Reader: Uro de la Cruz, director, Bubble Gang, Show Me Da Manny, and a forthcoming movie on WWII.
Uro’s Top 5 (Just 5 because he’s directing 4 TV shows, even if he insists they’re just 3 1/2)
1. Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith. (I take credit for the appearance of this book on friends’ lists since I hounded them into reading it.)
2. Alexander the Corrector by Julia Keay
3. Dark Star by Alan Furst. (Another one I take credit for.)
4. More Far Eastern Tales by W. Somerset Maugham
5. The Cheese and the Worm by Carlo Ginsburg. Read in a library on Mt. Fuji during a Bubble Gang shoot.
Next task: Get Uro to convince Manny Pacquiao to take up reading.

Didn’t see you at the book launch of Connecting Flights (not that we had agreed to meet, seeing as how we don’t know each other, but you know what I mean). Now how do I get my copy signed; drat.
