I just started Mr. Impossible (ob. food porn: while eating a Fatburger with a fried egg on it, and extra-crispy skinny fries) and am enjoying it. I'm not sure that men ever used that much sexual innuendo around women at that time period, but the stuff about Egypt appears to be well-researched. Well, it reads plausibly, anyway.

And now I need a romance icon. Got a screencap of Simon with his arms around River atop the bonfire? ;)
