Heard this out of the blue by Mercedes Sosa on New Years 2010. It gets stuck in my head for days at a time. Two versions are linked.
La Maza - Mercedes Sosa.
For guitar aficionados, the same with Sylvio Rodriguez (original artist).

The Prague Cemetery is getting sluggish in the second period, but I'll deal.
What I need is a good "beach book." For me, that's usually a good literary crime/suspense novel. Something along the lines of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (and its sequels) or Q&A (the book that was renamed "Slumdog Millionaire" for movie purposes). Any ideas?
Along the adventurous lines of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo books, if you have not already read it, The Bourne Identity, by Robert Ludlum, is a great read as is the remainder of his originally authored series. No surprise here, the book(s) are far better than the movie(s), though I thought the first movie good enough to pick up the book and clearly was not disappointed. The second and third movies were pretty lame, IMHO.
My current summer reading (aside from work stuff, this forum and my related Buffalo sports addiction) is George R.R. Martin's series on which HBO's, The Game of Thrones is based. Escapism at its finest, as are the Ludlum books.
