What a wonderful book. I really, really enjoyed this re-read of
West with the Night, by Beryl Markham. A great book, wonderfully descriptive and compelling, about East Africa in the time from WWI to WWII. And about flying in the days when a compass was nearly your only instrument. Markham has a great talent for going off on a tangent without losing track of where the story is going and without letting you mind, or even really notice. If you've never had a chance to read this book, I highly recommend it.
Next up, the 5th book in the Palladin series from Elizabeth Moon,
Crown of Renewal. This is a joint audio and ebook read, so I'll likely add in another ebook to go with it.
