yay! I just came across this, I linked here from Banzai's page (who I became LJ friends with ages ago through the odd coincidence that we have the same birthday) and I wholeheartedly agree about both books- I'm reading In Her Shoes right now, which was loaned by a friend when I mentioned I liked the movie, and just bought Prodigal Summer, which I devoured a year or so ago, for a friend.

Good luck with all the work!

Work is good, thanks.

You share a birthday with a wonderful man. :o]
