(16,758 posts)That's too bad. I was looking forward to the paperback being released. His novels are all formula with basically the same plot, but it works.

(28,039 posts)Neither Here Nor There by Bill Bryson. Most of his books are quite amusing, but I laughed out loud many times reading that one.

Barbara Mertz was one of my favorite authorities on Egyptology. A hobby of mine.
When she branched out into fiction, I naturally followed. Loved all of her books, and still miss her amiable writer's voice.

She was one of the guides on a very expensive Nile cruise I took. Her erudition and sly humor made her the highlight of the tour. Got her to sign my treasured old copy of "Red Land, Black Land" for me!
