Angela, you should check out Shadow of the Wind. I haven't read it yet, but Nephele recommended it very highly to me - called it the ultimate book for bibliophiles because it's a mystery about books ;) LOL. Anyway, I picked it up a few months back, and I think it might be next in my stack. Either next or the one after next.

Good to know Anne. I'll see if my library has a copy of it. :) I have to get through my reread of "The Blind Assassin" first since I'm supposed to lead my book group's discussion of it on Tuesday night. Uh, can we say "pro-cras-ti-na-ting"? I thought so. ;)
