Not so long ago
Amazing to discover all that hasn’t changed in a century. Language and technology advances but people stay the same.
Well Written Painful For Me To Read
Very well written. I can see why it caused such a fuss in the author's home town. For two years of my adult life I lived in a small prairie town in Iowa and believe me I can completely sympathize with Carol, although I know she is naive and to self centered.
Main Street
Taking a break from the current election process and news I picked up Sinclair Lewis' classic "Main Street".
I found that the 1920s human interaction and issues are very similar to today's drama that could be called "Facebook".
Reading this book helped lighten my sense of doom that was gathering about America's future.
The struggle of keeping our eyes open to change and not accepting "that's the way it is" lives deliciously on.
