I loved the Raj Quartet and there are a few short novels I have re-read (Catcher in the Rye, Brave New World) but I cannot imagine re-reading nearly 4,000 pages!

Sadly, Oklahoma's two idiot (R) senators - James (climate change is a hoax!) Inhofe and Tom (offset) Coburn - oppose disaster relief:

I just finished re-reading The Raj Quartet, by Paul Scott.
Read the series a few years ago - loved it. Also Staying On. Same characters - very different feel.

I use McCormick's Taco Seasoning a lot. It is great in chicken tortilla soup, tacos of course, taco salad - anything Messican. You can use a lot for flavor, but it doesn't have too much salt - I usually have to add salt.
