Thank you for the kind offer; we'll see. We have a very good public library here; If they don't have something, they'll just order a new copy; if it's in print.
I recommend Nelson Demille; excellent for a variety - crime/suspense/intrigue. I actually feel smarter -

- after reading one of his books, and he writes with humor. Problem is, I've read all he has written, except he has a new hardback out which I'll have to wait a while for.
