    I also read "Animals in Translation" and "Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict", enough to get my own copies of each! As always, you have great taste.

    I read and loved These is m Words - The Diary of Sarah Agnes Prine 1881 - 1901 by Nancy E. Turner. She has a couple of other books out also. I know I've read one other by her.

    I'm curious about Animals in Translation. Using the Misteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behavior by Temple Grandin. I may have to try to get a copy of this one. My grandson is autistic. He's made great progress over the last year and a half, but I've actually read very little about autism, so I'd like to know more.
