    Man, "The Women's Room" sure brings back memories, doesn't it? I started to read that book the day after I was married at 21. I was never so depressed in my life! I attribute the break-up of that (blessedly) brief marriage in large part to that book. My favorite part was the description of the method the main character had of cleaning the house. Scared the living be-Jesus out of me! Never was even tempted to try marriage again until this year at the wonderful age of 50. Not that I was inundated with proposals but there were a few along the way.

    Anyway, I see Hootowl snuck back in. Still, without answering my question.
