$Real Men Don\$	Real Men Don't Pick Primroses This unusual novel combines the excitement of action with a lyrical feel for nature and a quirky sense of humour. Sirish Rao Vikram Karanth sets off on a mountaineering expedition to the Himalaya, with an odd assortment of people ... a sherpa, two yuppies, an alternative energy scientist and an income tax officer. They each have their own reasons for coming to the mountains, but Vikram grapples with a deeper question: what is exploration? This unusual novel combines the excitement of action with a lyrical feel for nature and a quirky sense of humour. Excerpt: I skipped around mud-smeared patches of ice and ducked away from stones tumbling down the sides. The snow was getting closer now and the shine of the glacier came flashing at my eyes from above. Then we came to the snout of the glacier, a broken mouth of ice standing just above barren rubble. It yawned wide, a violent explosion of air and water spraying away in gems. First clashing out and snoggling around the rocks, then decisively booming away in a column of grey to become the Dolpi. In the silence between the two spines of moraine, the only sound was the deep thump of water and the solid boom of air.

	David Days, Mona Nights Translated from the German, this award-winning novel for young people captures the thrill of words, writing and letters – invoking a feeling that phone calls and email cannot ever match. Andreas Steinhöfel and Anja Tuckermann Mona and David are young and curious. They have only met once before - a special moment for both of them - but they stay in touch through letters. At first hesitant and self-conscious, the letters soon become more candid until the two are caught in a whirlwind of words. Finally, they must decide whether they dare to meet. Translated from the German, this award-winning novel for young people captures the thrill of words, writing and letters – invoking a feeling that phone calls and email cannot ever match. Excerpt Hi there Mona, How should I start? You’ve caught me a bit off guard. When you said you’d write to me, I thought - she’s never going to do that. She’s just saying it. And what’s this about writing - what’s the phone for? Writing letters is a bit old fashioned isn’t it? Why don’t you just give me your phone number? I had to write letters to my godmother - she lives somewhere in the south, in the Swabian Alps. I’ve never visited her. She always sent me a book for my birthday and for Christmas. That was okay because my parents would never put out any cash for books - they still don’t. I like to read. But when I used to write my thank you notes to my godmother, I nearly fractured my fingers. I’m not very good at writing about myself. I’m not a good letter writer. It would be nicer to meet, don’t you think?...Should I just ring your doorbell? Would you be zapped if I did? Oh man, what a scrawl. And it’s already my seventh try, so I’m just going to send this off - otherwise nothing’s going to come of it. The next one will be better. Promise! Your David.
