My dear Burd

The wife has not read the Wood book yet.

I personally enjoyed Middlemarch. It has one of the best drawn villains ever.

I don't know Donald's Westlake's books. The tastes on this site are very interesting though: books that the whole world seems to be reading sometimes only have a small presence here.

Yes, you gave me the McWilliams book: I was living in Louisiana, and it's an early journal of exploration there. I think it came from Acres of Books. It was a good read.

Thanks, but apart from Murakami I don't know too much about asian fiction unless it has pictures in it! The Banana books in my library was a passing fling ...
