A person who reads is never bored, but rather entertains the ideas of the world. Reading is recreational, educational, ethical, inspirational, imaginative and artistic. It aids in the development of the mind and the spirit. The written word is one of our greatest inventions.

The Pursuit of Alice Thrift by Elinor Lipman
Alice Thrift, M.D. has a great I.Q. and good itentions, however, her social life is non-existent and her ability to read social skills is highly impaired. When 'Don Juan' enters her life, intent on winning her affections, one wonders if he is sincere or simply a gigilo. This novel is filled with humour and restrained sympathy for Alice. I lookmforwrd to reading other books by this author.
