Old Books: Shakespeare, Jane Austen
SciFi/Fantasy: the Crown of Thorns books - although reading them all in one go probably wasn't the best idea - I'm sort of burned out now.  I'll read pretty well anything that looks interesting - history, autobiography, fiction. Kathy Reichs, Deaver, Unger. I love the end of year lists that have reviewers favourite books - now I've got a huge list of stuff that I'll pick up at the library. |

Oh Mr. George.. How I love his work. I have stopped 3/4's of the way through his latest book because I don't want it to end!!! I'm going to be a very sad pink when I finish the last page.

May I ask; are you able to read Te Reo Maori? Many of his books are written with a mix of Te Reo Maori (no translation in some)and English which has put some people off and I appreciate it's not for everyone. A little unknown fact; Witi has a nephew Gary Christie Lewis who married Lady Davina Windsor, becoming the first Maori to marry into the British Royal Family. We get everywhere! LOL!

Hardly anyone knows about Witi's books. It was a project specifically about queer NZ.
