I wanted to watch seasons 2 and 3 of the fine British comedy 'Black Books.' I live in New York (region 1). I think I can play these region 2 DVDs on my iBook G4, but also wondering if perhaps they could be played through Sony Playstation 2? I wasn't sure if PS2 was region specific in each country ...

This is going to be a long shot, but I'm trying to figure out the name of a fiction book I read around 20 years ago about a tiny black hole eating chunks out of the earth. [more inside]

Does anyone have some good info on writer Langston Hughes, aside from obvious Google sources? Any information gotten off the beaten path? I'd love to get some relatively unknown info on him, if anyone has it, or some particulary good access sites/books. Writing a paper and am tired of following everyone elses footsteps with information access.
