Has anyone mentioned that HBO is in it's 2nd season of "#1 Ladies Detective" Starring Jill Scott as Precious & the girl who was "Dream Girls" playing her Sec. My favorite series EVER! and Jill Scott is a cutie :)

This man is a genius! Every country has a grim side but that negative side seems to be the only side that Westerners see when they go to other parts of the world, especially Africa! This perception has been successful in keeping investors out of even the stable Africa, helping to perpertuate the poverty there! What this man has done for Botswana, by telling the truth about that country, is incredibly brilliant and we can only say, thank you sir!!!

If you've read and loved the "#1 Ladies' Detective Agency" series, try the audiobooks, read by South African actress Lisette Lecat. They are some of my favourite listening material. Amazon has them--but I borrow mine from my local public library. Repeatedly!

I am so glad to find this video. I love Alexander McCall Smith's books. If I have a bad day, reading his books warms my heart and makes me smile again. I was always interested to learn more about the author. I hope one day I will have the privilege to meet with him.

i have loved these books for years. i just finished the "miracle at speedy motors" last night. i'm so happy to have found this video. i'm also glad to have bought his books too now, knowing that he doesn't sound like a pompous ass. don't like his 44 scotland series, or bertie much though.

Having spent some time in Africa (only 4 weeks in Uganda), I found these books captured so many of the wonderful sights, sounds, and people I came to love there. IMHO, if you want to understand the mindset and worldview of many average Africans, read these books.

i've read all six books of the no.1 ladies dective agency and am looking forward to the 7th.

I know something about a white man who has fallen in love with Africa. I only wish that I could have written so well, and established a short story prize. He has educated the rest of the world of the virtue and honest wisdom of the African Soul. Thanks to 'Sandy'.

The greatest living writer by a comfortable margin.

[Arfipuss]

He's almost as wonderful a person as Mma Ramotswe!

[ampresand]

thank you for posting this. He is so wonderful. If you get a chance to listen to him speak, go! He is pure joy to listen to.

I believe this is the one guy who truly understand what we are all about. He has lived among us and he shows that thru his writings. Moreover he doesnt claim to know wverything but simply illustrates what he knows.

Good job!!!!

[Hynotika]

I read all his books well done! Alex

[olebsntuka]

I KNOW MAN! it is indeed!
