Keda-chan gave me "the windup girl" by Paolo Bacigalup for Christmas lat year.
Definitely the best book i read last year, amongst many, and i think it is a great read for those of us that live in Asia and see how things are transpiring.
If you can't get hold of a copy, let me know and I will post it to you; because it's a book you NEED to read!
Miss you heaps.
What about Shakespeare? I send you mind improving literature and it doesn't get a mention!!!!
What was 'first do no harm' about? I might have read it.
I read WWZ on Tim's reccy I think. I LOVED it!
