Book excerpt: Native to the savannas and grasslands of sub-Saharan Africa, the Savannah Monitor Lizard (Varanus exanthematicus) is one of the monitor lizard species found there. In some parts of the world, people keep these lizards as exotic pets due to their unique appearance. Key features and facts about the Savannah Monitor Lizard are as follows. 1. Although they can get much bigger in captivity, Savannah Monitor Lizards are on the smaller side of monitor lizards, with an average length of around 2 to 4 feet (0.6 to 1.2 meters). 2. They are able to blend into their natural environment because to their rough, scaly skin that has a brown to grayish background hue and dark, irregular markings. They have sturdy frames and powerful limbs equipped with sharp claws. 3. As the name suggests, these animals' natural habitat is the dry grasslands and open woods of Africa's savannas. They often dig underground burrows to avoid being discovered by predators or extremely cold weather. 4. Savannah Monitors, like most other carnivorous reptiles, eat a wide variety of animals, including insects, small mammals, birds, and even other reptiles and amphibians. 5. In captivity, these lizards are recognized for having a laid-back and inquisitive demeanor. They are largely terrestrial in the wild, though they can also climb and swim. 6.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A modern classic of true crime, set in a most beguiling Southern city—now in a 30th anniversary edition with a new afterword by the author “Elegant and wicked . . . might be the first true-crime book that makes the reader want to book a bed and breakfast for an extended weekend at the scene of the crime.”—The New York Times Book Review Shots rang out in Savannah’s grandest mansion in the misty, early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. In this sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative, John Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case. It is a spellbinding story peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman’s Card Club; the turbulent young gigolo; the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah; the aging and profane Southern belle who is the “soul of pampered self-absorption”; the uproariously funny drag queen; the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer; the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist; young people dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball; and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight. These and other Savannahians act as a Greek chorus, with Berendt revealing the alliances, hostilities, and intrigues that thrive in a town where everyone knows everyone else. Brilliantly conceived and masterfully written, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is a sublime and seductive reading experience.
