It was especially good to hear his brother turned out ok, having already read Running with Scissors and being totally horrified and alarmed.<BR/><BR/>So that's all good.Susehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837796439737091649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-35576835746242869102008-02-14T22:20:00.000-05:002008-02-14T22:20:00.000-05:00As I recall, I enjoyed The Beach while reading it,...As I recall, I enjoyed The Beach while reading it, and then totally forgot about it afterwards.

While H bathed the other three boys and put them to bed.

This is what I keep telling myself.<BR/><BR/>Unrelated: <I>The Beach</I> isn't, like, the best book ever, but it's very plot-driven, so it's fast and entertaining.
