"I wonder if you could help me? I don't really read or anything, but I'm looking for a book, about like a life journey, or something? But not too long, or to short? The verse, you know? Like a life journey, about someone? Would you have any suggestions?"
dream reply:
"Here's a dart and a copy of Books In Print- knock yourself out."

Ah, crap. I was in SLO this weekend and somehow forgot to amble past the Phoenix to see if you were in situ. (I visited McCarthy's six different times, and yet I forgot to go by your work. Yeah, I suck.)

Call him back. Give him The Alchemist or Ender's Game or Siddartha.
I want your job.

I gave him plenty of suggestions,
and LEGACY OF DIVORCE was my reward.
What a dumb ass! Call him back. Let's make him eat LEGACY OF DIVORCE.
(What is the legacy of divorce, by the way? Happiness? Freedom?
I am the living legacy of divorce: A happy second marriage :-)
