See? Exactly what I mean! Shared memories and nostalgia. In our case, the tiny Southampton, Pa library. I remember the very shelves where the orange biographies were--at least those that weren't in our house. I ADORED them. I still like biography, mostly because of the love they instilled in me for people and places far, far away. (Interesting that you mostly remember the women and I mostly remember the men. But I read ALL of them many, many times--we drove to the library, about 5 miles away, every Tuesday evening after dinner for our library night. We were only supposed to be allowed two books each at a time (it was a small library), but the librarians appreciated children who loved to read, so they let us have as many as we wanted. How many families today have regular nights they go as a whole family to the library?

And did Joan REALLY not read the orange biographies? What a vapid childhood she must have had. <bg>
