-Well I have had someone to recommend these books to me, and I had 
comepletly forgotten about it. It is rather unappealing however to 
have to wait for another book...

Thanks though, I will consider reading them now!

On the subject of Other books, apparently my school, which mandates 
sophomore English to world literature, does not think that Brits, or 
Yanks classify as "World writers" ?!?! (Just to reiterate their 
intelligence the Irish are considered British!!!)

So are there any good books written by Author's from other 
countries....
