About sixty percent of the books I choose to read I learn about through reviews. Unfortunately, that means I miss a lot of great books. As it is now, only a small portion of the books published get reviewed. With newspapers and magazines reducing or cutting their book sections, there is even less chance for readers to learn about new books. That’s where the bookstore comes in. The other forty percent of the books I read I discover by browsing my local bookstore.
I’ve finally had a chance to see all five Oscar nominated films. I’ve read elsewhere that some are saying that there are some weak contenders this year.

This month’s image is called Burst of Yellow. It was shot in a 16 x 9 aspect ratio. I’ve also included what I think was the best image from last year, which also happened to be the first image posted. It’s called Stormy Weather. All of the images in the View From The Cockpit section of the blog are available as high resolution images. They make great desktop backgrounds.
From the title of this article you might get the impression that this is a story about some in flight disaster, but that’s not what’s on my mind. Lately I’ve been thinking about life and death stories that occur every day some 30,000 plus feet below me as I make my way across the land and sea.
