Yah, Swimmer. I read life on a small island or whatever it was called, also by Ms. Greenlaw. I liked it only because she reminded me of myself, but I wouldn't put anyone else thru the reading of it. I will have to check out Striper Wars once I finish Empty Oceans by Richard Ellis. Jury's out on that one, as it seems a little radical and the information at times is sketchy. After the first few pages, I began reading it with a pen in hand to mark all the facts that need checking and interesting points to find out more about. I've been meaning to get the cod book by Mark Kurlansky for years now, but I haven't seen it at my local library, and there's no way I'm paying that much money for a tiny book, no matter how badly I want to read it.
