(She also wrote the wonderful The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, which was mentioned on a another thread here recently.)

    Oh, yes, I loved Ex Libris and The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down. Especially the latter. My first degree is in anthropology, and the next two are in science/health care. The only thing wrong with that book is I didn't write it! If somebody ever offers to pay my bills and support me while I get a doctorate, I'll look at something like that.

    I am going out to ride my bike. Really. Right now!

    (has anyone ever noticed how hard it is to type with a cat sitting on your hands?)
