I have read them all and they are the best books I have read in a long long time. I cannot wait for the next one.

I read the first three in January, and finished "The Kalahari Typing School for Men, and is hopefully going to finish The Full Cupboard of Life tonight.
I just love it, there is a lot more humour in the last one....
Excellent light reading!
I just love all the "africanisms" and the simple outlook on life, if only everybody could adopt their attitude to life. I read "tears of a giraffe" in one day :read: Im supposed to be packing and I can't put these books down.. feel like I have moved to Botswana :haha:
My favourite character name so far, is the photographer in Joburg called "Polaroid Khumalo" :crylol: Paints such a pretty picture....
