I am a Peter Mayle fan. I read his books when I want something fun. And, I never read them, I always listen because David Case who reads most of Peter Mayle's books is a genious. I've mentioned before that I never could enjoy A Year in Provence because I have not been to that part of the world and I thought probably that you'd have to have seen it to get the jokes... not if you're listening to David Case who can do all the funny characters and a wide range of accents.
I was a bit dissapointed in Chasing Cezanne. Peter Mayle is not as descriptive about the art world as he is about the south of France. The ending sounds like he got bored with writing the thing and decided to end it.
Still, if you listen to David Case and you're doing nothing more mentally consuming than laundry. This book will brighten your day.

Just wanted to say how much I love your blog and those wonderful little boxes. I'm friends with Blue House Mom, and found you through her site. I'll have to order one of the tie designs for father's day.
So glad to have you visit!!
I still need to listen to year in provence! Hey that windex stuff says it is safe for plants and I have sprayed it on the window above my bleeding heart every year, course it didn't even occur to me to worry, glad it was safe!
I saw a few episodes of the Year in Provence series that was on a few years ago.....when John Thaw was still alive!
