Don't know them! We usually have the same taste in myseries; I'll look for the first at least; thanks Leslie!!!

Never heard of it! WHen will I ever shorten my TBR list? For each book a read, two I add

Good Luck!
And I'm getting angrier and angrier with my boss - who really can't understand the easiste things and pretends to wait for some illumination from above - I suppose - before doing anything

Good luck indeed!

Trollope is one of my favourite author ever. I find his best works are the Chronicles of Barsetshire (the first ones better than the last), but I've also liked the Palliser novels. I fell in love with him after a suggestion by a Dutch neurologist (I was helping in an international meeting on IST - International Stroke Trial!) who prompted me read The Warden. It was almost 30 years ago: I had great difficulties finding books in English in Perugia then - and Amazon was at the very beginning. It was then that I discovered Gutenberg project and converted to e-readers!!!

Some flowers on the fruit trees here - and something elese; timid, but still you feel spring!

Thinking exactly the same!!!
