Boy, that's a wipeout. Our book tastes don't overlap, even one book. I haven't read a one. At least I had read Marilyn French's Women's Room in the 60s, the book ML posted about. My wife and oldest daughter are Elizabeth George fans and keep telling me I would like them. Just haven't gotten around to reading them. My latest read which might interest you is the second volume of Dorothy Dunnett's wonderful Lymond series, Queen's Play amazon.com, some of the finest historical fiction I've ever read, perhaps ever written. Well, a bit much, but at least you know how I feel. This volume is set, largely, in 16th Century France. Dunnett has a superb grasp of the historical particulars, a sense for a never ending set of high jinx, and a wonderful sense of drama. The series is great, six volumes in toto. And if you catch the disease, Dunnett has yet another which some like more than the Lymond series.
