I have finally gotten to the end of this one. I say finally and it sounds as though I didn't enjoy it. I did. I pick it up from its place in one room and it invariably lands in another. It's just one of those books that isn't read, so much as perused, bookmark moved occasionally when the current position becomes tedious and over-read.

Now that the bookmark has found an end, I've moved it to the front and put the book in another room...

More than a little real humor in here, but it's a bit dated in its pop cultural references (Baby Spice and Britney Spears are two sources.) But there's also Star Trek, Sinatra and other family faves. Not bad reading, for the bathroom or any other location.
