> 1. A Primates Memoir - Robert Sapolsky. He's the one working on stress and neuron death and other discouraging things but this is about his studies of baboons. Amazon has sample pages available and it looks hysterical.I like Sapolsky--so this would be ok with me.
>
> 2. In Cuba I was a German Shepherd - Ana Menendez. The title intrigued me when Noa first mentioned it and the book looks interesting too. Stories. No excerpts on Amazon but there are reviews.The story is in a collection called Best New American Voices 2000 edited by Tobias Wolff.
>
> 3. The Noonday Demon - Andrew Solomon. I've been having trouble getting through this book. I think there are things that bother me and I wouldn't mind trying to figure out what by discussing it with other posters. A lot of people have already read it which may be good or bad.I have been wanting to read this, too.

> (and now for something completely different)
>
> 4. The Onion Girl - Charles DeLint. Fantasy. This is the latest of a series. Set in modern Canada instead of medieval times but still with magical beings etc. Again, reviews are on Amazon.I'll have to look at the reviews.
