iasa's list
I guess the ideal novel, that i've yet to write, would be I Moved to the Caribbean and Found Someone Had Killed P.G. Wodehouse in My Kitchen. So for the basics challenge, i've focused on mysteries, making sure i've included internationally written and set novels, and comedic novels, along with a Groucho autobiography. After all who can resist Groucho?
