It’s definitely worth reading, unless you have a fragile white ego- which I doubt.

I’m trying not to watch any news at all. I just can’t. Knowing doesn’t change anything except to make my stomach hurt.

Wow, you did cover a wide spectrum. I really enjoyed The Sweet Spot. It must have been a lighthearted relief after the essays.

Well, if I have to be an outlier there’s no other curmudgeon I’d rather share the podium with. I think you’re right, TIHIAI might have been a one-off.

I’m not a Frankel reader so I’m okay, but I’m awaiting word on the James novel. Is it too brutal or is it worth reading? I’m trying to watch less news lately as the toll is huge. Your retreat is a good idea. Happy reading in March.

What next?

In fact, I’m beginning to think TIHIAI was a one-off, because I haven’t really liked either book that followed.
