Thank you so very much for considering my book. I am honored. Let me know what you think when you have had a chance to read it.Best wishes,
Hi Friend!Please read my book "Passage to Paradise". I would love to see an editorial on it from you.To you in Books,
I agree, Angus Wilson is superb, but his books are still quite hard to come by. I've wanted to read one of his novels for a while, but I have read his collected short stories, which are a joy.
Hey back. Nope, your friend request has yet to come through. I'm a cat lover too - six moggies at present!
Hi. I hope you can welcome an author and reader from New Zealand as a friend.
Don't know much about prehistoric ants, I'm afraid, although the ant is a relative newcomer as far as insects are concerned. Ants evolved from predatory wasps, and are nowhere near as old as termites. By the way, the book I'm working on at the moment is called 'The Cultural Life of Plants'.
Hello,Love your cat is beautiful. I love cats and kittens. We have a few books in common, happy reading. wendy
That story doesn't ring any bells, I'm afraid - the only ant story with a South American setting that I know of is The Empire of the Ants by H G Wells (the story that Werber pays homage to in his novel, of course). I've heard it said that Indian villages on the edge of the Amazon basin welcome the approach of a column of army ants because they clear the village of all pests, from lice to rats.
Nice to see someone else has read Empire of the Ants - I use it as the basis for my own book on the subject (end of plug).
Thanks for the suggestion regarding Pale Fire. I will dive into this weekend open minded as I attempt to find a path through to the end.
