Default books (was: which addiction is harder to get over...)

like so many books, i own them, but haven't gotten around to reading
them yet.

i'm going to have to get a copy of mary motes' book.... i kind of want
to read robert's road too, but i don't want to pay for it.

Mary Motes' book has decent reviews at Amazon, too. There's another Mary
Motes who wrote about the Bosnian conflict in 'Kosova-Kosovo' I wonder if
they are the same person. Anyone know?

it would appear so...

The author was born in England and met her husband, Dr. Martin Motes
(before he became the world famous orchid grower) when both were
teaching in Kosovo, Yugoslavia.

the "orchid hunter" book, and another by the same title, appear to be
bodice-rippers.
