Best novel I've read lately is "The Secret of Lost Things" by Sheridan Hay. Also recently finished "Expats" by Christopher Dickey -- a circa 1990 book about the Near East "from Tripoli to Tehran" and south to Oman. Good reminder of what was going on in that region from the Sixties until the late Eighties.

Right now I just started Gail Sheehy's book "Passages for Caregivers" which I really wish I'd read when it came out. But then I got so wrapped up in caring for Tom that I forgot I wanted to read it. Sigh. It's still worth reading now.
