the only problem is that no relationship can sustain that level of elation forever. you have to be prepared and welcome the following phases of true love openly, or disappointment and even resentment can find their way in.

it’s odd, i usually read a book a week, but so far this year i’m way behind schedule. i can’t say why that is, which means it’s probably a combination of things.
the secret life of bees- sue mon kidd- 3 (barbara kingsolver and michael dorris have both written better books about young girls trying to find their way by leaving home)
the final solution- michael chabon- 3 (waiting for a novel as good as kavalier & clay. cannot decide if he meant this “detective story” to be predictable or not, but it was)
too close to the falls- catherine gildiner- 5 (especially if you’ve ever lived or visited the area where the author grew up)

only people that are lucky, live in the middle of nowhere or have lots of money are going to survive if this really hits. i’m not wealthy and i live in a city. the lucky thing, well, that remains to be seen. i will continue stockpiling (sp?) food, water and supplies. but i can’t afford the number of masks needed or tamiflu for my family.
