How to Raise an Elephant, by Alexander McCall Smith. No.1 Ladies Detective Agency #21. I started this a couple months ago and got tired of it about two-thirds through. When I picked it up again yesterday, though, it seemed fun again, and I enjoyed the rest of it.

That sounds like a fun read. I have read all of his older books from the No. 1 Ladies Detective agency and the ones about Isobel D in Edinburg. I loved the ones about Isobel so much!

I read the first of the Isobel books and enjoyed it but never read the others, and I've generally enjoyed the No.1 Ladies books too. Oh, he wrote a very entertaining book that your book club could try! It was his version of "Emma."

I didn't know that! I will look for Emma, thank you. :)

I found it at the library and quite enjoyed it!

I must go back and read more of those, I enjoyed the first few.

Have you been to Botswana?

[claidheamhmor]

I have, many years ago. It was exactly as described in the books. Lovely people generally, but I found it very hot and dusty, and the capital, Gaborone, is not a big city. Kat and I also were in the Chobe game reserve a few years ago when we visited Victoria Falls, but that's very different from the rest of the country.

When I was in high school Model United Nations, Botswana was the country we represented, and we learned all about it. I am happy that it exists, although I am also glad not to live there.

It many ways it's a good country, with decent average income, high literacy rates, and low levels of corruption.

[eve_prime]

Yeah. :) I'm glad that's possible.
