I haven´t read When Elephants Weep, but i´ve read another of his books The Pig Who Sang to the Moon: The Secret Emotional Lives of Farm Animals. It was incredible, I can´t tell you how many times it made me cry, though. Like properly bawling. I´d love to read When Elephants Weep, but I can´t really take something unbelievably heart wrenching right now, though.

yeah, that one's on my wish list! I didn't find When Elephants Weep especially heart-wrenching, though some of the stories (of experiments) filled me with fury. I think it's more cerebral than most of JMM's others.

ooo, the mismeasure of woman looks really interesting. have you read Mycelium Running? it's my current nonfiction addiction, haha.

oh, it is FASCINATING.

I had never heard of it but now it's on my wishlist -- thanks for the recommendation!

There's two books ehre I really want to read - When Elephants Weep and the Mismeasure of a Woman. They both look excellent!
