> heck no, I didn't event mean those. not that I haven't read some, "the dance of anger" for instance, that was interesting.
So "the dance of anger" is good? My pdoc lent it to me, but, and this is silly, I was angry with him for awhile and didn't read it. Then got busy (doing nothing
much). I still have it. Maybe I'll crack it.> I meant fiction that represents some plausible reality. I can't even handle that...in most cases.
Umm. I have a difficult time with novels myself. The ones I want to read make
me cry, and the rest aggravate me. Do you mean you like fantasy? Sci-fi? Fantasy has really expanded as a genre.I can handle some history. That's not really intellectual, is it? Not horrendous history. Had enough of that. Wish I could read something intellectual, like
philosophy, but just get completely lost realizing I don't even really know the etymology or real meaning of the words and so what's the point?>
> isn't it a bummer?Oh yeah. It's like a massive blindspot. I used to live a different life. Lived in town, walked, rode bicycle, the bus. It was wonderful not to drive. Used our car for the highway or go to the city. If I did live in town, and even not, there are these funny little two seater totally electric cars around here for under $4,000. I think they max out at 30mph. We are not in a position to buy one regardless. Unless I add up all my $70
gas charges! My husband's work is installing recharging stations. Kinda' cool. But aren't the batteries toxic?May your Monday be merciful : J
