A respect for books was an unspoken given when I was growing up and I was encouraged to read good books because there was no time to read all books.

Alison Newell I heard her interview today on Fresh Air (from yesterday) Looks like a good read!
Jeanie Mitchell I liked the interviewer's comment that she had a dilemna - reading the book was teaching her that she needed to get up and exercise but she wanted to finish reading the book.
Christine Kumer PLEASE let's not turn this into a political campaign!

Mercedes Howie If you don't like the idea...don't read it. If someone else likes the idea, leave them alone. I'm sure it's a bummer for every pinner in the world to come onto Pinterest and see stuff like this on their pins. And it took a teenager to point this out. Bravo.
Jill Colf I have the book -- I always like to keep my friends close and my enemies closer. Closed-minded some of you say? Hardly. The "tolerant left" (insert laugh-track here) only likes you when you agree. Someone on here asked when does a push become a shove -- look around you. It's started. I am ALL for the first amendment (and the second, by the way). I don't have to agree with the ilk that spouts this nonsense, but I will defend to the death your right to say it... until you start tramping on MY rights. Peace out, you hypocrites.
