Lottie, that book is so good, I remember being sad for weeks just because I'd finished reading it and wanted there to be 500 more pages!!

I've just finished The Kite Runner by Khalid Hossini and am now reading sequel A Thousand Splendid Suns. They are both set in Afghanistan. The first is about two boys who grow up together, but come from different backgrounds, and how an event in their childhoods follows one of them through his entire life until he gets a change to right of the wrongs he has done. The second book is about two women, brought together through bizarre circumstance who form an unlikely allegiance. The author is an excellent writer, and I wish I'd have listened to the recommendation to read them long ago.

Those and the Rescue Manual are on my bedside table...

Right now I'm reading "Deep Storm" it's a sci-fi. It's not about diving but it does take place In the ocean two miles deep. VERY VERY GOOD!

A 1936 Four Roses Flour baking cookbook I found last week in a used bookstore. & a 1920s cast iron cookbook with recipes for "bush meat". Possum anyone?

I'm on the road yet again so I picked a slim book that I can read at airports. It's suppose to be maddening, it's suppose to test my patience, it's suppose to be an anti-novel--the first chapters of 10 different stories all strung up. Some have called it a bold experiment (to be experienced and enjoyed rather than recounted otherwise you'll only sound ridiculous), some have accused it of being prose for the sake of prose (a gimmick of form over substance). Some of you may have guessed: Italo Calvino's "If on a winter's night a traveller" -- so here I go anyway *turning page 1*
