I had a Lawrence Durrell obsession years ago, and enjoyed the PBS series Durrells in Corfu. But I was a bit surprised when I read Gerald's My Family and Other Animals at how much I enjoyed it -- so well written, with vivid, bright, luscious descriptions! Now I'm enjoying his 2nd in the trilogy, and despite the fact that he enjoys tiny creatures that give me the creeps, his descriptions are in raging technicolor.
