And my advice, drop everything and read the first few chapters of Leviathan. I bet you'll make time to read the rest.

That also explores alternate history. The frontier is populated with mastodons, the course of slavery was changed, and of course, there's a little magic thrown in. It's fascinating.Joanne Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11019039952521739669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086060608799640898.post-55690551206992639632016-09-26T23:24:26.703-04:002016-09-26T23:24:26.703-04:00This isn't quite my cup of tea, but it's g...This isn't quite my cup of tea, but it's good to know about.

My husband enjoyed Leviathan, and I love the alternative history of Jasper Fforde.
