Hi Dave,
RH> I know they're connected but just didn't care for King Rat as much.
RH> Whirlwind was quite interesting, whole different setting than Asia.
DD> Sadly, there won't be any more as Clavell felloff his twig in 1994.
I know, it makes me wonder what he and Michener would have written had

it was a big enough place for more/better shopping than the little town
we lived in (population about 850). For the last almost 3 years of his
life, my dad was in a nursing home there & we'd visit him on our way
to/from VT. We'd always have a meal at Brook's while we were there.
Knowing that Nancy was going to host a picnic at the pond one year, we
bought a bottle of their sauce. I also made my version; the consensus
was that the home made beat the commercial in taste. (G)
DD> If I marinade my chicken it's more likely to be something like this:
