I don't know why, but this one slipped through the cracks of my reading experience growing up.

I would love for you to read it soon. It turned many renowned authors into writers. I think you would love the humor.

You're probably right! I have a giant backlog of nonfiction right now (and a habit of exclusive nonfiction reading for the time being); I'm not sure when that will end, but I think a book like this should go on my fiction list.

It’s a breath of fresh air, and a quick read. If we lived close, I would give you my original copy. 😉

Well, it's a small world. I'm pretty sure I have Breakfast of Champions somewhere too.

I think THE LONG SECRET is the rare sequel that exceeds the original. Beth Ellen has hidden depths.

I’m looking forward to rereading it. She does hold her own with Harriet.
