I keep meaning to! I have Kim in my room and am going to read it soon I swear -- and then I can read the Hopkirk book too (unless you report that it turns out to be awful).

His short stories are tops. 'The Gardener' stays with you long after reading it.<br /><br />C.<br /><br />Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08310377995959127793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-48623486992760448052013-05-31T07:12:17.551-05:002013-05-31T07:12:17.551-05:00I will try to think of a good one I have already r...I will try to think of a good one I have already read, but I did just pick up The Riddle of the Labyrinth, about deciphering Linear B...v. excited to read it.
