    I think my favorite will always be "A Taste for Death". It was my first foray into her books and I didn't want it to end, so in love with Adam Dagliesh was I by that time.

    Oh, I know what you mean. With me, too, alas. Hurry back soon. Chuzzlewit and King Solomon's mines --the water's very fine.

    You will love Wind. It is fairly sophisticated; makes no concessions to limited vocabularies. There is one bit of slapstick, but the rest is superb. How lucky you are to be reading it for the first time !

    Oh dear, you're two books shy of winning a shiny medal from Brenda in the New Year. If you're going to read "Wind in the Willows", why not pop over to one of the plays you missed and read/discuss? "Blithe Spirit" or "Lady Windermere's Fan"?

    Lady Hermione says

    You will never want to put your hand out of a window at night again; I have yet to meet anyone who read WH at an impressionable age who will, or who doesn't hide under the blankets on windy nights when branches scratch against the window. I once ran out in my nightdress at first light & pruned the huge rosebush outside my window, having been driven half-demented all night by the screech of branches that sounded just like a hand clawing the glass and the tapping that sounded just like someone knocking. "This'll teach you !" I cried. But it grew back almost at once; pruning encourages it. So once more on windy nights....aaaaggghhhh!

    That must be one of the most terrifying images in literature.

    Well, hello there, handsome. I envy you your cheekbones.

    If you're reading Wuthering H, I hope that there are no branches touching your bedroom window.

    Thanks ever so much for the invite, dear! Always lovely to have another interesting friend on whom I can spy on their reading :)

    Although The Finkler Question is not one of my all-time favorites, it was very well written (really the most important aspect of any book to me, and after quitting a book due to its terrible writing, this was a great relief) and it was interesting to gain a perspective on a foreign topic to me (living in Arizona there is not a large Jewish culture from which I have to draw many experiences upon). I think I shall seek out some of the other nominations for the Booker this year, to see if any pique my interest.

    As always -- pretty houses, lush veg., and everyone drunk, hung-over or somewhere in between. One wishes one could re-populate the place.
