    When Pulitzer prize winner, Barbara W. Tuchman, wrote “The Guns of August” she said her goal as a writer was to get the reader to turn the page. Having read David Quammen’s page-turner, “Spillover,” (which I could hardly put down) I am greatly interested to get a hold of his latest book. His writing is so very engaging!

    (Sorry David, I’m getting it from the library.)
