It is interesting what one can find out on Goodreads. I am curious how you found me? I looked at our books in common list. Looks like we do about the same amount of reading but we have only Jack London and John Steinbeck in common. However, my wife is an avid reader of Jodie Picoult, although she did not recognize that title. Bad Honey. You say you like adventure. You might like the Kenya portion of Happenstance.
