    no, I started reading "Farewell, Anatolia"---a book you gave me long ago. (but I've been so bad with reading this week!)

    umm, is that the book I brought back for you from Greece? That's funny, at the time I must have thought Anatolia was in Greece or something. Hahahahaha. is it any good?

    Yep! I think the back descript tickets the book as dealing with Greek-Anatolian tensions or something, so that's probably a reason for your bringing it back. It's got some really lovely descriptions of scenes---figs at market, raisins, the light, and so on. I think you'd enjoy it.
