“Separated at birth”? I have about three- quarters of the books in the second photo, including Janissary Tree and the Byatt; the Payne- Gallwey, the Silk Road, and the Women of the Gobi in the other; and The Deep is on my wish list!

The Janissary Tree is in the stack because you mentioned it a while ago - a very good read.
I loved Morpho Eugenia - saw the movie made from it a few years ago and enjoyed it, but Byatt… Great. In the interval between movie and novella I’d forgotten the key role played by ants. Social insects again - they keep popping up. Speaking of ants, I assume you’ve seen news of E.O. Wilson’s new project?
I got The Deep this morning. Spectacular. My only quibble (and it is nitpicking) is the inclusion of some CGI images. Like putting Pamela Anderson in a book of beautiful women - why?

American Gods - bizarre but interesting.

Hey… I’d be interested in “Black Hole” (just sounds interesting to me) if/when you finish. I have *plenty* of (book) trade material.
