I wrote a reply to your post earlier yesterday but it seems to have been lost somehow.

I have a way to go on The Poisonwood Bible. I have yet to encounter the green mambas.

The only other African book I have read is The Covenant by James Michener. I believe that was 30 years ago or more. I'm glad I read The Covenant otherwise I would know absolutely nothing about South Africa. I found the Boer War especially interesting.
