He laughed everytime he saw me the rest of the night. Sadly, the senior discount would probably cheer me up just as much because I'd be saving money!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08071728508673942664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17139371.post-1145977495436028402006-04-25T10:04:00.000-05:002006-04-25T10:04:00.000-05:00I'd be willing to give her non-fiction a shot...sh...I'd be willing to give her non-fiction a shot...she does have a remarkable knack for stringing words together in a way that is very absorbing and memorable. I'm still thinking about that book...I'd also be curious what my sister-in-law had to say about her. Cathy is a genius for boiling down a book.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08071728508673942664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17139371.post-1145966244193466572006-04-25T06:57:00.000-05:002006-04-25T06:57:00.000-05:00hey. i'm with you on anne lamott fiction - but as...hey. i'm with you on anne lamott fiction - but as for her non fiction stuff, LOVE her. she is SO real it's scary sometimes. she is very free in her thinking, and confident about it. i love that. try traveling mercies or operating instructions (a diary she wrote for her son's first year of life) it will have you crying and laughing all at the same time. it might be because she totally reminds me of a friend of mine that i love her so. but i tried her fiction stuff and took it back to the library after only reading a couple pages. didn't like it at all. <BR/><BR/>it's so funny how we all act so weird about our age, isn't it? i'll tell you right now, i LOVE it when i get carded!! ha ha!! but i'm sure when i get older and they try to offer me the senior citizen discount, i'll be a little freaked out about that. my mom seems to enjoy it though - something's wrong with her! hee hee.<BR/><BR/>anyway... love your posts as usual. you have quite the gift of writing.Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06723561018243963274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17139371.post-1145887476393090412006-04-24T09:04:00.000-05:002006-04-24T09:04:00.000-05:00I'm with you on this one, sweets~ I agree with you...I'm with you on this one, sweets~ I agree with your general bad feelings about Lamott (if the world blew up tomorrow, whatever was left of us would have no use for much of anything she has said), and with the old lady and her clean living philosophy.Christine Boleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11898338520193338598noreply@blogger.com
