Our Avatar

This is our "avatar," which will appear whenever we make a comment.  I was tempted to use Edvard Munch's "The Scream," which is how we feel when we pay $25 for a book (less at Costco and amazon.com) and discover it's terrible, and we can't even pass it along in good conscience!  Cathy

This is our “avatar,” which will appear whenever we make a comment.  I was tempted to use Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” which is how we feel whenever we pay $25 for a book (less at Costco and amazon.com, and free at the library, if it’s available, always my favorite option) and discover it’s terrible and can’t even pass it along as a good read if we want to live with ourselves.  We’re devoted to reading, though, good or bad.  A feverish reader rapidly turning the pages to find out what happens, up all night in her closet so she doesn’t wake the family would have been a better avatar, but I couldn’t find one.  Cathy

OMG, I can't believe I paid $24.99 for that book!  It's dreadful, dreadful!
