I do hope Steinhauer's Web-clipping service or Google Alert scoops it up for him: it's the sort of review that would make many writers' hearts swell, especially in this unsolicited form.

I'm sorry you had a crappy week, but I'm glad you found at least a temporary cure.

It's a great way for me to find out about new books/authors I haven't read before.<BR/><BR/>So thanks, Janet, for the recommendation. And I hope your weekend, and next week, are better.K.

I'm glad you found some peace by escaping into one this week. I think I need to go get The Tourist. It sounds like a book I need to read. :) Hope your weekend turns out better.J.R.

He's really good for this kind of balming of the soul. When you're in a used book store, pick up PASTORAL, THE CHEQUER BOARD, ROUND THE BEND, and TRUSTEE FROM THE TOOLROOM (I recommend you skip ON THE BEACH in this situation) and tuck them behind glass that says, "Break in case of emergency". <BR/><BR/>Oh, and Janet, if this helps at all...it was a sucky week, and I'm sorry, but you do wonderful things for a lot of people and the pendulum will swing back...and if it doesn't swing fast enough, just let us know and we'll all give it a good shove for you! Take care.<BR/><BR/>cheers,<BR/>Joelle Anthony<BR/>http://www.joelleanthony.comSundaySouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11585573704680898879noreply@blogger.com
