It looked kind of good leafing through it at the bookstore. Some of it seemed spot on. I'm not recommending it, just wondering if anyone has read it.

Thanks for the mention. It looks quite interesting, even quite relevant to the Forum and.......... predictably........, has failed to raise any real interest here in the 40 hours since the first post :roll: :roll: :roll: :arrow:

Well, I read it, and it gave me chills, it was so relevant to my life. I absolutely loved this book, and am planning to look for a cheap, used copy on Amazon. I loved her comments on dining alone, and on deciding whether or not to have children. One thing I could never understand, was why most people feel ashamed to be eating alone, or viewing a movie at the theater, alone. If I find myself needing to grab a bite at a restaurant, I take a good book and enjoy being waited on. I found it interesting that the author briefly mentions Asperger's, but does say that she isn't on the spectrum.

Thanks for sharing this.

I've never understood the big fuss about eating alone in a restaurant or going to see a movie by myself either.

I think I'll get a copy and..........read it alone :wink: :arrow:
