<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Great recommendations. Hosseini's characters
are strong and compelling--or revolting as need be. I like that he
writes so well about females as well as males. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would also recommend "The Desert Queen" and "The
Speckled Monster" The first is the story of Gertrude Bell who is credited
with drawing the borders of Iraq after WW I. The second is the history of
smallpox innoculation. Both are well worth the time they take.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And by the way, Jess Walter, the author of
"Citizen Vince" will be speaking at the U of I Commons at 7:30 PM, Dec 1.
An added note, his sister is the public librarian in Colfax. </FONT></DIV>
