Surely, though, they will have Calvino's or Yeats. Thanks!<br /><br /><b>Nancy</b> - Cryptonomicon is a bit confusing, but interesting. Nonfiction books I've read about WWII (including <i>Operation Mincemeat</i>) are making their fictionalized versions into the story.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-40160899462928793432012-03-27T17:51:58.338-05:002012-03-27T17:51:58.338-05:00I haven't tackled Neal Stephenson, yet, but I&...I haven't tackled Neal Stephenson, yet, but I'm pretty sure I have a copy of Crytonomicon, somewhere.

Another great book of Fairytales is Italo Calvino's Italian FolkTales or the one by W.B. Yeats Irish Fairy tales both great reads edited by great writers.@parridhlanternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12793548943992250238noreply@blogger.com
