i balk all the time except i had a BN gift card to drain so there you go
I was just handed the book this morning by our lovely postal guy (or
should I say potsal guy?)
the negative review today in the WSJ was funny--she didn't finish the
book and also seemed to be more hung up about the hype and the
publishing industry and didn't get around to discussing the book at
all.
keep y'all posted
