I have just finished reading these 2 books. I really, really enjoyed them. Highly recommended. I am now looking out for this book..



Still snowing outside. Sasha down with some mysterious bug that caused her to puke last night/this morning at 3.00am. Rather scary as she was literally choking on her puke. Dread to think what would have happened if she had not cried out before she puked. Suffice it to say that sleep was impossible after that. On the bright side, I was able to finish the books and start reading/amending page proofs for a forthcoming article in a good economics journal. Funny thing about getting to the page proofs stage...while you are ever grateful for having the paper accepted, you start cursing having to read a paper which you have been working on since 2004 yet again.

I loved Niffenegger's Traveller's wife too! especially the German prosaics (I know...I know...)! Haven't the time to read many books these days...moving slower than energetic snails on Brick Lane (Ali) but would love to hog the other 2 books you recommend. Perhaps, owning those books would be more of a gratification at this point (giving false hope on reading them in 2008...)

GREAT stuff on being published in one of those high-brow economic journals!

Sorry to hear about Sash and her projectile pukes..Horrid! Milla had something nasty last November when she puked a lot and I don't think I like those days that much. Wishign you strength...!

HUGS. Nxxx
