It was absolutely fascinating (and very entertaining).<br /><br />Ice Station Zebra is my first Alistair MacLean, as far as I know. I wasn't really into thrillers during those days, although my dad was and I would love to be able to ask him if he read any by MacLean. Yeah, I've gone back and read a few of the titles I read when I was younger but I need to read more. It's really quite interesting to see how your impressions change. Desiree by Anne Marie Selinko used to be one of my favorite books but it didn't hold up quite as well on my most recent reread.

It looks very good, and like you, I don't know enough (other than a rudimentary knowledge) of the Troubles, and how people got through it living side by side. What it must have done to them. So yes. <br /><br />I read Ice Station Zero many years ago - I read most of his books as a teenager, and really enjoyed them. The sad thing about getting into my 50's is that books I read that long ago, I've mostly forgotten (except for my favourites that I've reread) so now I am contemplating rereading all the Mary Stewart, Alistair MacLean, and Agatha Christies that I read back then.

Yay, glad you recommend Interpreter of Maladies.

I definitely recommend it.
