Books:
01. Have by Jan Morris:
WELSH TRAVEL WRITER MORRIS has described nearly every interesting place on the planet.
02. Bad Faith [A forgotten History Of Family And Fatherland] by Carmen Callil:
FRENCHMAN Louis Darquier De Pellepoix beat his wife, abandoned his child and spent the 1920's and '30s avoiding work while cadging money from relatives.
03. Wizard Of The Crow by Ngugi Wa Thiong'o:

ANY NEW COLLECTION BY Heaney, perhaps the world's greatest living poet, is an event. And this one is a killer.
05. The Caliph's House by Tahir Shah:
ONE COLD WET afternoon Shah decided he'd had enough of London. The result was The Caliph's House, a lively account of how the travel writer moved his pregnant wife and young daughter to Casablanca, buying a decrepit Arabian Nights complex once owned by a real Caliph.
Movies:

The 20, 000-plus soldiers who defended the island against the ferocious American assault were ordered to die rather than surrender and most did.

The cops put an undercover man in the gang, the gang has an informer among the ops, and Jack Nicholson gives a grand, snarling, nutsy performances as this film's presiding force of evil.
04. United 93:
No horror movie could have scared so many people away from seeing it as this first major 9/11 film, a meticulous re-imagining of the hijacking of one of the planes and the passengers' heroic improvisations to stop it.
05. The Queen:
Her majesty (Helen Mirren in a great performance) does not understand why the public expects a show of official sorrow over the passing of Princess Di, whom QE2 never much cared for.[/englishtext]
