May I share with you - last week my post on Russian poet Akhmatova from 2009

received the largest number of blog hits - an amazing thing - It's not a news item, it's about a poet who died in prison during Stalin's Purges of the 1930s.

This reviewer in Slate likes latest Murakami novel--the walled city--the walled garden.
