I tried to approach this book front to back and found it disheartening. But then it kicked around for a while before going back to the library and I picked it up from time to time and read randomly (skimmed around and read when something caught my eye). I ended up reading most of the book this random way, more than I read of it straightforwardly. And you know, I liked it. It had a lot of good things to say. For some reason it comes across best without her ordering and context. Maybe because there is too much of her own concerns and context? I don't know. But, hey, if you're in your thirties, check this one out from the library and just flip through it. You might find something you were looking for, even if it's just some company on something you've been wondering about.
