well, yeah!
You raved about several in the last couple of weeks
I am picking out books for the beach next week..
is the Red Tent a good beach book- I have in my notes you enjoyed it- it's on the packstack.
I have some really JUNK reading. A Grisham and a Koontz and a bunch of scary or mystery types. I figure the boys can read those too.
ONly requirement is there must be NO cerebral demand at all. I must laugh, cry only briefly, or be terrified.

Two-thirds of women in 1954 repaired old shoes; now a similar proportion simply throw them away.

This came from an article on how women want to be housewives again. Suddenly June Cleaver and Harriet Nelson are looking good.

I'm not clear on whether the old shoe refers to actual footwear or to husbands.
But it's interesting.
