 In
a Sunburned Country - Bill
Bryson
Despite the fact that Australia harbors more things
that can kill you in extremely nasty ways than anywhere
else, including sharks, crocodiles, snakes, even riptides
and deserts, Bill Bryson adores the place, and he takes
his readers on a rollicking ride far beyond that beaten
tourist path. Wherever he goes he finds Australians
who are cheerful, extroverted, and unfailingly obliging,
and these beaming products of land with clean, safe
cities, cold beer, and constant sunshine fill the pages
of this wonderful book. Australia is an immense and
fortunate land, and it has found in Bill Bryson its
perfect guide.

 24
Hours - Greg Iles
24 Hours begins with the perfect family. On the perfect
night. About to become trapped in the perfect crime. Will
Jennings is a successful young doctor in Jackson, Mississippi,
with a thriving practice, a beautiful wife, and a five-year-old
daughter he loves beyond measure. But Will and his family
are being watched by a con man and psychopath who may
be a genius. A man who has crafted the unbeatable crime.
A man who has never been caught and whose victims have
never talked to the police. A man whose life's work strikes
at the heart of every family's unspoken fear: the unstoppable
kidnapping.

When Dorothy triumphed over the Wicked Witch of the West

witch? Where did she come from? How did she become so
wicked? And what is the true nature of evil? |
