Maybe things haven't changed much after all. Or maybe I've just seen too many commercials for "The Girls Next Door". :-)<BR/><BR/>Chartroose ~ LOL! I'm not buying the "ugly" part. :-) Jack is pretty fabulous, isn't he? He's my little old man kitty! Not quite as adventurous as he used to be, but he's a great cuddler now!<BR/><BR/>Charley ~ I think The Moonstone is the other book of his on the original 1001 Books list.

I never understand why the men don't want interesting women as wives - or why smart women are always ugly! Silly Victorian novelists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
