Death of an Englishman
Author: Magdalen Nabb
ISBN: 9780194791687
It is just before Christmas and the marshal wants to go South to spend the holiday with his wife and family, but first he must recover from the flu and also solve a murder. A seemingly respectable retired Englishman, living in a flat on the Via Maggio near the Santa Trinita bridge, was shot in the back during the night. He was well-connected and Scotland Yard has dispatched two officers to “assist” the Italians in solving the crime. But it is the marshal, a quiet observer, not an intellectual, who manages to figure out what happened, and why.

Book of the Week: I, Robot by Isaac Asimov
The three laws of Robotics:
1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm
2) A robot must obey orders givein to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
With these three, simple directives, Isaac Asimov changed our perception of robots forever when he formulated the laws governing their behavior. In I, Robot, Asimov chronicles the development of the robot through a series of interlinked stories: from its primitive origins in the present to its ultimate perfection in the not-so-distant future–a future in which humanity itself may be rendered obsolete.
Here are stories of robots gone mad, of mind-read robots, and robots with a sense of humor. Of robot politicians, and robots who secretly run the world–all told with the dramatic blend of science fact and science fiction that has become Asmiov’s trademark.

Book of the Week: The Call of the Wild by Jack London
When men find gold in the frozen north of Canada, they need dogs – big, strong dogs to pull the sledges on the long journeys to and from the gold mines.
Buck is stolen from his home in the south and sold as a sledge-dog. He has to learn a new way of life – how to work in harness, how to stay alive in the ice and the snow… and how to fight. Because when a dog falls down in a fight, he never gets up again.

Theme of the Week: Joseph Conrad
Joseph Conrad was a Polish author who wrote in English after settling in England. He was granted British nationality in 1886, but always considered himself a Pole.
Conrad is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English, though he did not speak the language fluently until he was in his twenties (and always with an accent). He wrote stories and novels, often with nautical settings, which depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of an indifferent universe. He was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English sensibility into English literature.
Below is a trailer for the film The Secret Agent based on his book of the same name:

Since his father deserted him when he was still a child, Larry has bitterly rejected everything his father stood for. He has embraced order and control. Now a wealthy Wall Street analyst, he is about to marry the boss’s daughter, and become a good deal wealthier. Then Homeland Security shows up in Larry’s office searching for his father, suspected of being behind acts of cyber warfare against government, banking and Wall Street interests. Larry’s carefully organized world begins to crumble. Forced to try find his father before the government can, his search is made in the company of Kim, a sexy admirer of Luke’s. His quest takes him to Lukedom, a Dice Commune where everyone changes roles every day; to Larry’s own dicing, which leads to love, a broken engagement, rigging the stock market–and total chaos. Larry’ search is by turns funny, moving, and erotic. By the time he finally confronts Luke he has been profoundly and hilariously changed, his previous successful conservative life turned on its head.
