House of Spirits, by Isabel Allende, when she saw I was reading Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Love in the Time of Cholera. (which I greatly enjoyed. still haven't finished The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman by Angela Carter, instead moved on to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Also recently read Third Person Rural, by Noel Perrin--essays about farming in Vermont by a 'sometime farmer'... Herriot-esqe, man was I obsessed with James Herriot as a kid.)
