BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Candles are lit next to the body of Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, who was killed along with his wife Rivka in the Mumbai attacks, at the start of their funeral at the Chabad headquarters in Kfar Chabad near Tel Aviv on December 2, 2008. Six Jews, including four Israelis, killed last week in the bloody Mumbai attacks were laid to rest in Israel today in ceremonies that drew thousands of mourners in Kfar Chabad and Jerusalem. Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his wife ran a cultural and outreach centre of the ultra-orthodox Chabad-Lubavitch movement that was among the targets of Islamist militants whose attacks left 188 people dead. The couple were among those who died when the heavily-armed extremists stormed into the five-storey complex in India's commerical capital.

Quotes about Larry McMurtry
A portrait of inarticulate love and thwarted desire, Ennis is a rich, complicated character succinctly sketched in Annie Proulx’s original short story and brought to heartbreaking life by the film’s screenwriters, Diana Ossana and Larry McMurtry; by its director, Ang Lee; and above all by Mr. Ledger himself.

I love Larry McMurtry. 'Lonesome Dove' is my favorite novel ... I had to find out what was happening with Gus. I didn't want to leave that world or those characters. So when they asked me to be in the miniseries, any excuse to continue that life that I loved in the book is just a grand opportunity for me.

They knew that ‘Lonesome Dove’ is my favorite novel and Gus McCrae is my favorite character in literature ... I remember as a gift – I was so floored – Larry McMurtry gave me an inscribed copy of ‘Lonesome Dove,’ which is one of my treasured possessions. I just really enjoyed them, and apparently they wanted me to work with them.

Quotes from articles mentioning Larry McMurtry
Everything there is to know about a given volume may be only a click away, but there are still a few of us who’d rather have the book than the click. A bookman’s love of books is a love of books, not merely of the information in them.

Rice graciously offered to name a reading room after me and I ungraciously declined, my grounds being that having things named after me makes me feel posthumous.

I have always believed in having as many reference books as possible, although, of course, in the age of Google, they are not as vital as they were in 1966.

I would find a few books in those houses - they weren’t much, but I was firmly started on my book hunting.
