And neither do I But it has to be said that last book Dress your family in corduroy and denim was quite a disappointment Judging by the number of people showing up for his readings here in San

book Maybe it s one of those that, at page 100, kicks everything glorious into overdrive, making you gleeful and giddy and full of delight at reading it Maybe I should have read further and waited
