I didn't know anything about Colombia when I started it, and I thought Marquez provided just enough information, lol. Maybe I'm just more comfortable being ignorant? Raych, awesome! Debi, yay! I can't wait to see what you think of it. :) Aka Nik, awesome! Matthew, I can't wait for your reviews-I'm been getting really into non-fic lately too! Nymeth, I saw that you got his autobiography (and the picture of him on the cover is so adorable!), and I'm glad Grossman translated that too. :) Daphne, yay! (and thanks for stopping by if this is your first comment...which I think it is) Somer, great! Melanie, that's such a great phrase..."shiveringly satisfying"...wish I'd though of it! Verbivore, I hooe you find out. :) Bybee, you're so much smarter than me! Now I want to go look for the shipwrecked sailor book! Andi, aww-thanks. I hope you enjoy the Storry book! http://astripedarmchair.wordpress.com/2008/05/07/death-by-black-hole-thoughts/

And I also like the idea of an atheist (I'm not quite there, but heavily agnostic) worrying about his belief structure crashing down. I'll look for this one right away. Thanks, Eva!
