This is another book in my From the Stacks challenge and when TW saw me reading The Flame Trees of Thikka she said – “Didn’t you read that in middle school?” Err no. I cannot imagine such thing even being in my middle school library in Charleston, SC. It certainly wouldn’t have been on the required reading list for either middle or high school. So no. I hadn’t read it or anything else by Huxley. I should read more though. Old, dated, African non-fiction – awesome. Loved it.

dude. wha-ever. i am driving home tonight from numerous spots to collect the biweekly groceries and i am rolling down the highway and i see some trees whose trunks are red/orange in the sunset and i think how beautiful the title Flame Trees of Thikka is…and how it sounds almost alien and sf-y, and now stumble across YOUR blog through the might asshole.com and WTF – i haven’t thought of that title in 10 years. what a universe.
