I have a non-smart phone with a slide-out keyboard and the Opera Mini browser. It works well enough for most things on this site.

That is a bit over my head, at least in terms of American dollars I am making today. But then I just checked something comparable to what I need now. If this were later in life, and my children wanted to come and were of working age and stayed with us, or wanted their own place, I would have to shell out the money all on my own, or wouldn't need as big of a place. But I will keep this link for future reference. Thanks Simon. There's a sort of algorithm for finding a place to live in London: - Identify where you will be working
- Identify all the places where it would be convenient to commute from, and where you'd like to live, and what quality/size of property you'd like
- Cross off all of those places*
- Expand search to places where the commute becomes a significant part of your day, or where the area is less desirable, or where the property is uncomfortably small
- Examine house prices
- After defibrillation, expand search to places where area is positively undesirable
- Review crime statistics & housing quality for the area.
- Eliminate area from choice
- Refine downwards standards on size and quality of property
- Review previously searched areas. Cross those places off your search
- Expand search to areas where commute is an unreasonable amount of your day
- If your search location is now outside the land mass of the country, go back to 9
- Check your budget. Can you afford to eat / clothe yourself, based on the accommodation cost?
- Really? Are you sure? If so, congratulations - you have moved to "London". Or to be specific, some location many miles or commuting hours away from London. If not, go back to step 9
(With tongue slightly in cheek, though not as much as you might hope) (* unless you are a Hedge Fund Manager, in which case buy all of them)

I just returned from five days in Myrtle Beach, SC where we saw a free concert by Mother's Finest at the Mayfest. Mother's Finest is a seminal funk/rock band that has toured for 40+ years and remain very popular in the southern US and, for some reason, Sweden. They hit the stage at 12:30 P.M., remarking that they were unaccustomed to being up that early. Nevertheless, they delivered a thundering set, playing for more than 90 minutes. Afterwards, the band was kind enough to greet fans and sign autographs. A nicer bunch of folks you couldn't hope to meet. Here's Jill Maurice (left) fawning over vocalist Joyce "Baby Jean" Kennedy:

Do we not have a "What book are you currently reading" type thread in this forum? I could've sworn there was one, but I can't seem to find it.

I searched "book" in the Community Discussion section and the two closest threads were one to review books you've read and one to ask about a book you've never read and want comments on. So, I'm thinking no, but this is a really really good thread idea!

I think we should have a thread for discussing prose books that we're currently engrossed in. I'm happy to start one, but just wanted to make double sure that there wasn't a thread like that already.

Ah, yes...that's the thread I was thinking of! I'd forgotten what it was called. Thanks, slam.
