Everyday Life in Early America   David Freeman Hawke
An outstanding social history of the American colonies in the first half of the 17^th century. Well written, highly informative, and very enjoyable. Too bad he didn’t use footnotes. Even so, a great step on my reading of American History. Very good.

Lucifer’s Tears   James Thompson
Second well-written novel in the inspector Kari Vaara series. He’s now in Helsinki with his wife and daughter, working homicide, and causing as much trouble as he is stopping. Tough, kinky, interesting, lovely, brutal, and a lot of fun. A very enjoyable read.
