I really enjoyed this book (and enjoyed the lecture I attended when the author talked about the book and answered questions.) He talks about 4 crops: apples, potatoes, tulips and marijuana, and the interactions between them and humans: history, culture, human psychology, and science, etc. I knew nothing much about botany and have never been particularly interested in that branch of science, but this book was a very easy read and I found it extremely fascinating. Gave it as a gift on a couple of occasions after I read it.

This is the way a cretin begins a book review, but I can't help it. My main response to Sharp North is: This book was long. Very, very long. It was an interesting read, but seemed to take me forever. Sharp North is about Mira, who strikes out from her remote village when she realizes that her adoptive parents and the neighbors she has grown up with are hiding terrible secrets from her. What these secrets are, Mira (and the reader) only learns far, far into the book. The genetic intrigue make this a possible recommendation for readers who are interested in dystopian society, genetic engineering, and (spoiler!) cloning.

An anthropological book on Islam. Very, very informative. There is so much to learn about the many different cultures within Islam. To clump all Muslims into one group is as dangerous as thinking all Christians think, believe, and behave the same way.

Still have the childhood copy from when I was a kid. Really enjoy reading it to my kids now.

Hard to put down again! The first half to be honest was a straightforward hunting safari (not everyone's cup of tea) before it got down to another firefight this time with Mozambiwue guerrillas. Always fascinating to see Africa in the raw.

I loved this book. It was so creative and moving. It made me laugh and cry in such good ways.

** spoiler alert ** Learned a few things about the Battle of Trafalgar as Sharpe laid down an ass whippin' on an opposing French ship (of course the one that had been encountered earlier and held the person from whom Sharpe needed to garner a little more respect for an earlier misguided decision..;)..) The light predictable plot was an enjoyable experience that I looked forward to following every day. Cornwell allows us to escape to that "good guy thumps the bad guy" world of righteous old fashioned justice that is so very rare in the real world today. Having read the Hornblower series before this one it was good to be back at sea again and shaking my head in wonder at the life of a British Seaman. The ship was well managed by an excellent captain who knew exactly what it took to maintain a happy ship and garner respect without the constant brutal discipline inflicted by many other captains at that time. It appears as though Sharpe was quietly taking lessons in how to command effectively. I'm sure we'll see some of these lessons come to fruition as he rises through the ranks.

Evy Varley's marriage to Rogan Chantry is all she had hoped it would be–until she finds out that she is pregnant with a honeymoon baby. Fearing that Rogan won’t allow her to travel while she is expecting, Evy plots to keep her pregnancy secret in order to accompany him to South Africa. Her thoughts are not only for her husband, but Evy is determined to travel to Bulawayo, the new mission station of Dr. Jakob van Buren–the one man who can help Evy to finally clear her mother’s name. After she and Rogan set out to sea, however, Evy discovers that she has gone too far in her deceit, and the damage to her marriage may be irreversible. Matters only worsen in Africa, where malaria, murder, and an African uprising all take their toll–and where Rogan and Evy must fight not only for their love, but also for their very lives.
