I think I will need to read this On Beauty. Sounds cool. I'm rereadign Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. A little somethign for the pisse doff liberal on your reading list. I've also been reading Echo's Badalino. A bit slow, but golly he's clever at teaching ya history when you think you're reading a story. A On 1/31/06, Kathleen J.
