I am only talking about a vague impression I had in the past that was not based on much in the way of facts. When I was in high school I did notice that a number of people were reading nurse books. I had no reason to be interested in those books myself, but I noticed that virtually every person who I saw carrying them around were those who I would have classified as the airhead caucus of the female student body, so I came to think of nurse books as airhead books. After leaving high school I never gave that impression a thought again and, indeed, I never gave nurse books a thought again because I don't think I ever saw one again. That is, I never gave them a thought again until the subject came up here. Now I wonder if the nurse books you folks are talking about are the same ones I saw when I was in high school.
