Reading "Spies of the Balkans" by Alan Furst, one of my favorite novelists. He can really make you feel like you are in the locations he writes about: the rainy streets of Paris, Warsaw, Prague, Salonika. He writes great sex scenes as well, not explicit but very erotic. I love good writing.

So do I! A good book is suppose to take the imagination to it's limits with every detail.
