Book people

Some new books up, I gave some away to my nieces and sister (traded the new Neil Gaiman one to my niece for the signed copy of Coraline I gave her by accident) at a recent family party, but do let me know if any of them interest any of you! Any bird watchers would probably love this one ...

"A Guide to the Birds of East Africa" sounds delightful. Another for the reading list.

I finally finished "The Toss of a Lemon" a couple days ago. I'm a sucker for big multigenerational epics, so it was my kind of book. And it gives some insight into India's enormously complicated religious and cultural traditions.

Oh, I am so glad you liked it! And the "Birds of East Africa" is teensy in comparison!

I loaded Toss of a Lemon onto my Kindle and am currently reading it - am enjoying it VERY much!! I am really getting to know the characters and am learning quite a bit about this Brahmin culture I am unfamiliar with!!
