Book #484: The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz (1900, L Frank Baum)

Pretty boring but it is a children's book so that is to be expected.
The odd thing about the plot is everyone's lust for power (except Dorothy). Everybody becomes a ruler of some part of Oz.

Movie #2431: Absolute Quiet (1936, George B Seitz)

Whole bunch of nutty characters meet at ranch due to weather conditions. Silliness breaks out. Fairly entertaining.

Movie #2430: H-8 (1958, Nikola Tanhofer)

I think this is the first Croation movie I've seen. And not a bad one either. It's the old "Grand Hotel" plot with a twist. There will be a crash on the highway between a bus and a truck. We know which seats the dead people will be sitting in. But people keep moving around on the bus. Who will die in the crash?

Book #482: A Phoenix Rising (1996, Zoe Schramm-Evans)

None too exciting account of a trip to Vietnam. Of course, if it was too exciting I'd assume that it was fabricated. Pleasant. However, being 20 years old, I'm sure it doesn't really resemble the Vietnam of today.
