I am looking forward to Killing Commendatore.
For sake of clarity, the above statement means I am looking forward to reading the book; it is not a statement of murderous intent.

Update: I am over 300 pages into Killing Commendatore and am enjoying it a lot. I have not murdered anyone since I started reading the book.

My favourite Irish author has just released an excellent novel entitled, Night Boat to Tangier. It is set in the ferry terminal at Algeciras. Highly recommended. It would appear to be the flip side of your read.
