It's by Tim Winton! Hopefully this won't change your mind about reading The Things They Carried. Thanks for the compliment, btw.<BR/><BR/>Ex Libris, it <I>really</I> is good!

Not sure if it's any good, but I'll let my hubby read it first since I'm concentrating on my TBR stacks.<BR/><BR/>Marg, I'll look forward to your thoughts when you get a chance to read it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Joy. :)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-1163543034249429502006-11-14T14:23:00.000-08:002006-11-14T14:23:00.000-08:00Oh!
