wa-hoo, my first book of the year complete, though I actually didn’t want it to end! an amazing book that I highly recommend, especially to those whose veiw of life in Africa is strictly a indigenous black/colonialist white dichotomy. Though the author’s childhood was by no mean’s idyllic, I nonetheless wish I could have lived it myself. I miss Africa.

Loved That Book Too
Just read your comments on “Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight”. I loved that book too. I recommend you check out Alexandra Fuller’s second book “Scribbling the Cat: Travels with an African Solder”. More about her travels in Africa,, this one is more gritty where she travels around with a rebel soldier. Amazing first person narrative!
yeah for Alexandra Fuller
thanks! it’s funny you mention that because Scribbling the Cat has actually been on my “to-read” list for awhile. when I saw a book with the same author at the bookswap, i thought i’d give it a try, and the rest is history. i really like your “things”, lots of reading and relaxing with a fair amount of active stuff thrown in for good measure:)
