If we ever lived in the same place-- which seems improbable, but not utterly impossible-- I think we could build a solid friendship by lending each other books, yearning at one another's collections, wandering through bookshops . . . Have you read R.A. MacAvoy's Book of Kells? That's the book I would begin by lending you, because your comments on Stephen Maturin make me think that Derval might interest you, and because all the four friends in that story are people I can imagine you talking to.

Wow, you know me so well *g*

its a fun read and not nearly as silly/fluffy as some (which made me happy :))

Its even in my "keep this one to reread" bookcase....

Thanks! I'm always looking for more recommendations for stuff to read (why waste time doing work I'm supposed to be doing, after all? *g*) :)

Yeah, I've read it a bunch of times, starting as a fairly little kid (when I somehow missed all the commentary about John's skill in bed).

And this is a time-travel story about Ireland with lots of mulling of Canadian identity! ;)

Now that does sound different - and intriguing!
