Recent Reading in Brief

V.S.Naipaul's novel Miguel Street is about Trinidad.
So it was perfect reading while I was there!


I've been meaning to read Coelho's novel for years.
I bought a copy in the airport and read it on the plane from
Miami to Detroit. A nice traveler's  tale for travel reading.

Cahokia Jazz: What would the area around St. Louis (where I grew up)
be like if all post-European-arrival history had been different?
Here's a speculative -- and suispenseful-- fiction about the answere.

I've heard good things about these three though I haven't read them. Hope you enjoy them.

I hardly have time for reading books lately but all of these look like ones I would like to lose myself in. I studied a house for mr biswas by V S Naipal in secondary school but rarely see his name about nowadays!
