Doug-

If you're not looking for great literature... The Ice Limit by Preston 
and Child might fit the bill. A good read while you're reading it, but 
that's about it. It even takes place in Chile, if that helps. Not sure 
if it's been translated, but I'd expect so. The authors are bestseller 
generators, and the book is five or six years old. The story involves a 
_really_ big meteorite.

Hola amigos, everyone, and anyone, world, please help a friend in need:

I need advice for an important Christmas present:  a book/novel/Roman 
with a
meteorite/astronomy/meteors/comets or something similar slant.  Fiction
would be best, we're even talking popular romance novel authors (where I
might find a Spanish language edition)...actually those would be great 
for
the adventurous woman who has a soft spot in her heart for guys that 
have
space rocks in their heads ... Latin American or Spanish books are 
highly
desirable, too ...

The problem is it will have to be in Spanish, or if in English, very 
easy to
understand, and available for quick shipment from Amazon.com.  My window 
to
pick up the book order on time is ending since I need to travel to get 
mail.
Kid's books which might be fun to practice English are fine ideas too.
Classics I might find in Spanish, Spanish language literature would be 
fine
... She already has all the H.A. Rey books...other than that....H E L P
please.... I'm totally lost for thoughts :-(((

Thanks for any ideas!

Best wishes, Doug
(suffering on this one)
