    Stupid "A Polished Hoe". GET IT OFF MY BOOKSHELF!

    The advice from "What to Expect..." is oh, so valuable. Is it meant to make smaller breasted women feel better? WTF?

    Also - are you my Mom re. the prodigal son? She gets all huffy when she reads that. Missing.the.point! :)

    Why won't someone think of the small breasted women????

    Also, I'm with Dave and your Mom on the prodigal son! A guy at my old work was going off, at length, on what a great story it was and suchlike, but I'm like, meh. That guy's a jerk. (The guy in the story, not the guy at work)

    RE:
    - Hotel New Hampshire: the first time I read it, I was stunned that it was available in my (Catholic) high school library. And yet, we had no books on witchcraft. Odd, that.
    - The Road: for all of the misery and danger, it's actually a nice father/son travel story.
    - East of Eden: murder by knitting needle? So basically, I'm surrounded by weapons here?

    Oh yes, surrounded by weapons. Which will be helpful if you are ever attacked by ninjas (whether you are pregnant or not)!
