    Javier- I looked at your shelf- excellent. Some of my favorites are yours too: Invisible Man (by Wells...i see the one by Ellison is on your Plans to Read shelf. I have read that too...and even though it is supposed to the more classy one...i liked the Wells one better), The Stranger, Of Mice and Men (i see you have Grapes of Wrath on your Plan shelf but may i suggest East of Eden?...it is my favorite Steinbeck). I see you have Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead on your favorites. i saw the movie and loved it...but haven't read what Stoppard originally wrote. I will put it on my Plan shelf. One of the things i love to do is be a pest and look at peoples Plan to Read shelves and nudge them toward any of my favorites that may be there. Yours is loaded with those: The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love. The Sparrow ( and it's follow-up book, Children of God), World War Z, The Remains of the Day (Ishiguro may be my single favorite writer. his Never Let Me Go is excellent too) The Time Traveler's Wife (you have never read anything like it, I bet) and House of Leaves...which is not a special favorite of mine but amazing and as stranger as anything ever written. thank you for listening. -Julie

    You have to tell me how Call for the Dead is. I've never read anything by Le'Carre.
