I'm kind of an eclectic reader. I read everything from the classics to the truly bizarre, so any and all recommendations are welcome!

    "The Mabinogion Tetralogy" by Evangeline Walton sounds great! It fits right into my research plan for teaching Harry Potter this winter term!

    Hey. Thanks. One can't go wrong with Tully. He's grossly underrated and wrongly forgotten. I didn't even know Tropical Animal was out! I'm going to wake up and get it tomorrow. Thanks for the tip, and welcome.

    Hi David, I haven't read Dirty Havana Triology yet, I have it on my (mental) wish list. But I also read “El Rey de la Habana”, Havana's king, which I think wasn't translated into english yet. They all belong to the same series, dedicated to Central Havana. I think Gutierrez's books are much more than sex, and they imply a severe criticism towards the regime, without being propagandist at all.
