HEY JOHN
Maybe I shouldn't admit this...but I've never read Water Music. I don't read much fiction in the first place, & when I do, I usually steer clear of more recent stuff. IMHO, there are too many good classics to wade through the reams of pop pap that publishers churn out (what I like to call "Highlights for the chronologically advanced") to find the nearly nonexistent gem.
The word "mofongo" popped in my head, & I remembered Mungo Park (the Scottish explorer) from reading encyclopedias when I was a kid. I think it's interesting when writers work fact in with their fiction [& do it well].
However, from looking at reviews of the book (& the added benefit of a referral from yours truly), I'm putting Water Music at the top of my fiction "to read" list--just as soon as I finish another pass through the Count of Monte Cristo (unabridged is the only way to go).

1) Make mine medium rare.
2) Just my luck. Me work hard all day on the veldt, stepping in who knows what; and when me get home, its butt roast again.
3) I'm sorry sir, but this IS the best seat in the house!
4) Stick a spear in him, he's done!
