Now I've just left off wondering if there's something especially good near the end that I'm missing.<br /><br />Nan- Thank you so much! That cheered me up!<br /><br />Oh- I'm glad to know I'm not the only reader who didn't get the humor. Maybe I would have appreciated this book Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-74871768655933021852009-08-11T11:56:20.899-04:002009-08-11T11:56:20.899-04:00Yeah, that doesn't look too good to me either....Yeah, that doesn't look too good to me either.

I can't find any of her books on Book Mooch or PB Swap, either, and I don't feel like buying one when I'm not sure I'll like it.... maybe I'll see if the library can do an inter-L-Loan.Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-65697903995211696102009-08-10T03:41:52.477-04:002009-08-10T03:41:52.477-04:00You'd like "Herself Surprised" bette...You'd like "Herself Surprised" better, one of the companion pieces to "The Horse's Mouth".Bybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10061186489010154661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-70804764966599082612009-08-09T22:59:11.863-04:002009-08-09T22:59:11.863-04:00I haven't even tried to read this one - I used...I haven't even tried to read this one - I used to see it in our bookstores where I worked, and read the back,but the first page just didn't do it for me.

I take my books seriously.)<br />And I remember, too, looking for the much touted humor, and finding none.
