3. Some describe Cotterill's as dark humor

To me his writing is innocently dirty....not arousing the way most sexual references tend to be.

I love Cotterill. I know you are one who recommended him, but someone else did too. We were talking about another book in a thread and somebody started talking about a shaman and an elephant, and it made me curious and I tried him. It's been a love affair. Can't remember who it was that posted about that shaman.

Cotterill sure has a love for the language we speak and people of all nationalities, looks, sexual and political persuasions, physical disabilities..anyone can feel welcome reading his stuff..

Oh, and animals. He loves them too....and superstitious people and their beliefs..

I will try McCall Smith. Have put 3 books in my "request soon" list - the newest series.
