Hmm... the last couple of the TOR freebees I tried kind of fizzled for me, so I gave up on them. Still have Starfish, Gray, Old Mans War, (may another I can't remember) that I haven't read yet. Perhaps from your message I will give Startfish a wack. I read Four and Twenty Blackbirds based on your reco and really liked that.

Currently slogging my way through Passage to Inda (book club pick) and I'm still waiting for something to happen. The arcane languge/phrasing makes it not easy to read for me. I'm not sure if this is done intentionally to emulate how Indian's speek English or not... I think not because the dialog of the Brits is just as arcane. Perhaps it is just the language of the day for 1932?
