1491 is an amazing book. It debunks a lot of the pervasive stereotypes about pre-Colombian cultures--nothing really new if you went much beyond high school history classes and follow archaeological news, but somehow still so much part of the American view of the past.

I did enjoy The Stolen Child. I'm not sure how much I liked the end though, but I'm not sure how else he could have ended it. I'll be interested to see what you think.

Good luck with work over the weekend!
