two recommendations for books - one I recently finished, one I'm reading now: "An Arsonist's Guide to Writers' Homes in New England" - rather off the wall satirical novel, very tongue-in-cheek."The Botany of Desire: A Plant's Eye View of the World" (Cheryl -- have you read this one? Seems right up your alley!)
