The Fix



Feeling the onset of a bad day and in need of a fast fix yesterday, I made a quick trip to the nearest National Bookstore, where I found the paperback edition of Alice Munro's The View From Castle Rock. Munro happens to be one of my favorite writers of all time.

It gave me an instant lift. Books never fail. Nothing else is so cheap but also so essential.

Hey Morx, how are you? I like Alice Munro! I've got a collection of her short stories. I'll check out this one too. By the way, that book you gave me, "A Spot of Bother" by Mark Haddon is a great read! I've lent it to Kaily as well. - Loren
