Also there is the public library, which you won’t be able to get a card to, but I have one, and it’s very conveniently located downtown. It’s not as good as the one back home, but it’s not bad. And you know I have books, but unfortunately, you’ve pretty much read everything I have already.

Aw, shame y’all didn’t enjoy it! But yes, Esme Lennox and One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest are both very good – except one I’ll be able to revisit and one scared me so bad I may never pick it up again. 😛

Yes, that’s pretty much the impression I had of it – brilliantly written, in a way, and absolutely engrossing, but so very out of date that it’s no longer as good a book as I’m sure it was when it first came out. But I still recommend it, I think. It may make you want to travel back in time and lecture the author, but it will definitely suck you in.

well, the government probably does have an obligation to give you at least some level of education for free! And reading is fundamental to education. So.

And I will grant that you are not deprived, and do in fact have a large and very generous family. But you do not make much money, and your family does not provide you with new books which are vital to your ability to exercise your right to vote and free speech rights intelligently. So the subsidy is entirely appropriate.

And wasn’t it nice when we were the apple of librarians eyes? The ones up here are still a bit cranky at me about a cite-check book the law review kept and kept and kept. And kept. I’m not bitter.

I’d heard there was a TV adaptation, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to get it in the States. They’re releasing more British DVDs in America these days than they used to, though. So maybe! Did you see it? Was it any good?

We love to gaslight each other, my family. In as many ways as possible. 😛

This seems to be a movie that resonates with a lot of families. We just accuse each other of “gaslighting.” As in, “You’re gaslighting me, aren’t you!”

I adore it when Ingrid Bergman has him tied up!

We do the same thing! Only we say “Where’s that brooch I gave you?” Ha.
