What I've been reading:
Bananas Beaches and Bases by Cynthia Enloe.
Discovering Cynthia Enloe's work
may well be the best thing that happened to me this semester..
In a Sunburned Country Bill Bryson on Australia. Funny, informative, recommended.
Birds of a Feather by Jacqueline Winspear.
I don't usually go in for mysteries, but I find Maisie Dobbs, the detective
at the heart of this book, a very appealling character.
