Tom, Harry and Kirsten (from left to right) continue to keep it real. Maurice, besides winning best sordid typefont, looks like E.M. Forster's dark horse masterpiece. And it's set in a series of boys' schools! Nothing, I mean nothing, could be better. Harry's latest choice, The Hell Screen, is a whodunit full of signs, shadows and scandal in eleventh-century Japan. It's hard to put into words, but this book just feels good when you hold it. I think it's the cover and page weight. And, last but not least, The Sign for Drowning was written by a friend of Kirsten's. Pretty cool! Books that find their inspiration driven by the currents of the sea always have a place on our shelves.

what about Treasure Island? That was GREAT!!
I Love E.M. Forster, though - I am going to check that one out!

Least we forget

"Kidnapped" rocked my world as a child. It's got the action and terrors of "Treasure Island", with some more interior Gothic moments.
If we continue with the Stevenson push, I also recommend "The Black Arrow".
