So maybe I did LIKE it....I couldn't put it down, but I was sad about the product when I was done. <br /><br />Conversely, if someone uses the word "tincture" EVER AGAIN, I will mix some shit with a mortar and pestal and MURDER them with it.<br /><br />That is all.

(Which is why I keep reading him!) He also writes a column about living in New Hampshire - he's really good at that, too.Sarah Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10192356045608082461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1144799462578151807.post-74840175205405721492012-02-07T15:24:54.678-08:002012-02-07T15:24:54.678-08:00Interesting..I just finished Double Bind.

You have read the book, you have spent precious hours reading and thinking about this book. Therefore it is important because it is now apart of you, even though you do not "like" it. Does that make sense? I am glad you reviewed a book that did not resonate with you. It was well written and brings up annoying habits writers can tend to lean toward over time. I CANNOT stand the over explaining. This is a huge reason I speed read. (Not recommending) Nothing slows the story like a bracelet description. We have to read things we kinda like in order to completely appreciate what is good. Great post. Thank you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09848030861686748482noreply@blogger.com
