Only those who don't have fathers, and then they have issues about not having fathers!<br /><br />Your column was an interesting read, and has given me another thing to put on my "library list". My "library list" is starting to become a personal joke to me, because the vast majority of the things that get on it aren't in my local library. And yes, we do have ILL, but my experience with that service through our little library is that apparently just about anything I want to read is "not available." I'm thinking I need to move somewhere with a better library, but the garden and vineyard are pretty much immovable.<br /><br />At least I have nice long list of things to look for when I am at second hand book stores.<br /><br />Anyway, all you literary types with your reviews: Keep on teasing me. At least I have a list of potential good books I haven't read yet. Which is more than I can say for most of the people around here.healingmagichandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03785882461027155830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341308729189935273.post-86685766547200796722011-01-18T06:15:30.050-05:002011-01-18T06:15:30.050-05:00Daisy: Boy, isn't that the truth!
