  2. If you and especially Paul find some time you will like "One Second After". When you are finished you will be glad you live where you do!

    1. Paul read it....honestly, I've been "avoiding" it because although there's probably some good info. in there I'm taking a break from those books for a little bit....gets me angry/depressed.

  3. I saw the movie "Albert Nobbs" first and then sought out the book. This was an instance where I thought the movie was much better. But at the end of both, my reaction was . . . Whoa! (Whoa as in "Oh, my!" Totally believable, but intrinsically sad.)
