Some Iffy Books

Helped surely from reading so much more online, I'm less able to read books that in the past would have been fine. I'm re-reading Housekeeping (also a film) and darn is it hard-going. A little of the flowery text goes a longggg way. The well received World of wonders: in praise of fireflies, whale sharks, and other astonishments has a similar problem.

Also, I checked out (maybe again?) the Beyond Abortion book, and in general didn't care for it. Didn't like the style -- seems like a first draft or something, plus leaving a lot out.
