You had to one-up me, eh? Putting your list in ALPHABETICAL ORDER. Geesh!

Impressive list. I can't wait to hear all about those books.

By the way, "Outwitting the Gestapo" ... there was a very good French film about this woman ... the film is aptly named "Lucie Aubrac" directed by Claude Berri, starring Carole Bouquet and Daneil Auteuil [I find his name soooo hard to pronounce]. I really recommend it.

Actually, if you create the list in EditPlus, it will order it for you, ascending or descending. Then you copy and paste it into the blog, and voila!

I can't wait to read that book!
