I have no desire to know any "dudes". It is time for another word to identify the hip and cool. Thanks.

I did enjoy the book, and it was memorable: there was a gap between my reading it and this blogpost going up, and I realized I have thought about it a fair bit since then, it was really unusual and original. Thanks for dropping by, I share your depression over the election.

I wonder how often people and their carers get rude about each other; after all, they spend so much time together it's hard to miss the little foibles and flaws that we all have. That in itself is really interesting to think about. Glad you found this one worth finishing. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
