What are you reading

[bekah]

Yes!  If anyone is looking for a recommendation try "Independent 
People,"  one of my all-time favorite novels and up there along with 
Mahfouz'  The Cairo Trilogy and Gabriel Garcia Marquez'  Hundred Days 
of Solitude for other Nobel greats.

currently reading "Cloudstreet" by Tim Winton  (pretty good but not 
Nobel quality)
