It's nothing fancy for me, just 'The Mapmaker's Daughter' by John Pilkington. Am interested to see what everyone else is reading. |

I'd thoroughly recommend the last book I read, especially if you have a sense of humour, an interest in wildlife and an interest in Africa and it's rich varied cultures. It's called 'A Primate's Memoir: Love, Death, and Baboons in East Africa' by Robert Sapolsky. Surprsingly only half of it seems to be about the baboons he's studying. It made me laugh, it made me cry. I really can't recommend it enough! |

I must admit I'm a bit cheap and I borrow books from the library rather than buying them! |

DV (can't call you Darth - it doesn't feel right! don't even know if you are male or female!) you're not being cheap by getting books from the library! If more people used them they would get more funds and be able to have more books and stuff. I can't afford to buy all the books I want to read - I've always used the library and encourage my kids to as well. Anyway, more money to spend on Family History! Maz. XX |

Predator by Patricia Cornwall. Her latest becoming a traditional Christmas gift from my daughter. Some I like, some I don't. She sometimes dwells too much on the scientific side of post mortem and forensics which doesn't always make for a smooth read. This one looks promising though, not got very far yet. I use the library too, not just for books but story tapes as well: great for doing ironing to!...and Maz - DV sounds worse than Darth, sounds like she/he's poorly! LOL Mags x |

Perhaps I should be called baboon? I'm female BTW in case you feel you need to know! Maz - I only wish that were true! My parents are both librarians and my Mum works at a public library. They're much like my section in local government, considered a luxury! Health, Education and lower council taxes all come first really. There will always be money for more and more planners, but libraries and conservation tend to get the short straw. Wouldn't matter how many people use them at the end of the day theres only so much money to go round. |
