oh no - I finished my book
it was "The Pilot's Wife" by Anita Shreve and I liked it a lot
I'm also in the midst of
Bartlett's "In Search of Reptiles and Amphibians"
Couturier's "The Hopes of Snakes - and other tales from the urban landscape"
"Hooked" - a collection of Buddhist writings
Greene's "Snakes - the Evolution of Mystery in Nature"
my favourite fiction books are
Bulgakov's "The Master and Margharita"
Suskind's "Perfume"
and Helprin's "A Winter's Tale"
in the mystery genre I really enjoy Nevada Barre, Dana Stabenow and Elizabeth George
I'm sure I'm leaving out a bunch
but what else can you turn me on to?
