Leaving BY BLOOD WE LIVE

Having read about 100 pages and several short stories, I have decided I am a little overdosed with vampires for awhile.  Those that I have been meeting are traditional vamps, though there are differences.  Harry Turtledove centers his story in the Christian world--indeed the Vatican.  Then Tad Williams centers his story among Muslims in the near east, and Michael A. Burstein's characters are Jewish.  Barbara spins a yarn of exploration of the South Pole.  And here I leave the book, though I will return.  I am enjoying the variety.



I will now return to Les Mis, which I am sure has been languishing in my absence.
