That last sentence brings an experienced sigh from Sharon. But I'm just
jumping in to share a book I'm excited about, and this is the perfect
group to share it with. On another list somebody posted this website:

http://www.b-network.com/whats_news/

this is all about "The Story Of B" and Daniel Quinn is the author. If
you've read "Ishmael" then I don't have to tell you any more other than
Quinn has a kind of sequel out. For those into the "Paleo diet" and
attendant philosophy, this book is for you. when I discovered at noon
yesterday that Quinn had a new one I dropped everything and ran to my
bookstore and had the skinny little $22.95 book home here at 1 pm.Time
has permitted only the first 2 chapters so far. It's a very good read
and a controversial philosophy. Feedback welcomed (after you've read
it!)
