I bet she is a little fish by the end of the summer!<br /><br />Staci, I'm seeing that lots of people loved Letts' earlier books - but not this one.<br /><br />Samantha, you are certainly right about that.<br /><br />Diane, thank you.<br /><br />Bookfool, thanks, I have been reading some better books, and that helped.<br /><br />Iliana, it is a cycle, absolutely. Thanks for the good vibes - they helped!<br /><br />Carrie K, thanks, AG was a fun read.<br /><br />avisannschild, perhaps you'll like Shoot the Moon more than me, you never know.<br /><br />Les, thanks for the link. I don't know that I'd read this author again.<br /><br />booklineandsinker, I loved Ruth Reichl's books too - the one dealing with her stint as a reviewer is hilarious. Funny, another book I just finished also mentioned Reichl during her reviewing days - Spiced by Dalia Jurgensen.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208766776468157501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040657217275018769.post-29778936272592957202009-06-14T14:12:23.754-05:002009-06-14T14:12:23.754-05:00hope things are shaping up by you! i just had to ...hope things are shaping up by you! i just had to comment on the amateur gormet--i love ruch reichl and devour her books! i'm not nearly as brave as she is with tasting new foods, but maybe adam roberts will help me find my way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040657217275018769.post-30929824812998099392009-06-11T17:03:09.093-05:002009-06-11T17:03:09.093-05:00I had a similar reaction to Shoot the Moon.
