This is a pee-in-the-pants funny book set in southern Louisianna. Of course the dialect is particularly funny to me 'cause my spouse is from that area and....well, let's just say, they really do speak with a thick accent over there. “Meely LaBauve” by Ken Wells.

Anyway, had emailed to recommend "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn or "Beyond Civilization" by the same author. Gee-zus, I keep doing this. I emailed you before reading your posts.

Goes through world history from the middle ages on, if Europe had been completely wiped out during the black plague. A lot of neat details. *And, oh, yeah, the obvious: Harry Potter. Good for traveling, at least. Can't remember you mentioning having either read them or avoided them.
