Making Money by Terry Pratchett

His entire Discworld series is good I highly recommend it

I didn't know it was published. Thanks for the info. I just downlo... err, obtained a copy, and now i'm reading it.
When i'll see it in a bookstore i'll probably buy it, i like Pratchett very much and have the entire Discworld series.

The Portrait of a Lady. Well trying to anyway. It has been on the bedside table for so long, I'm beginning to think it's part of the decor.

Water for Elephants was nice.  Now I'm reading Peace Like A River by Leif Enger.  So far so good.

Read, about a month ago, "A Darwinian Left"... good stuff. (It's short, but I used it in a discussion I led at the Phil Club about Human Nature.)

An Embarrassment of Mangoes: A Caribbean Interlude by Ann Vanderhoof

Just got back from staying in a vacation home in St John and it was a book at the house that I started.  When I got home had to go pick it up.
