"Orchids to Ms. Orlean (who wrote theeBook on that2)! Euphoria is finding that a copy is alive, handy, and ready to burn some midnight oils!
Ms. Orlean applied heart and head to awesome tasks of observing what *we* do as we plan2fiddle our Saturday Nights! Her look-see falls between "Travels wth Charley" and "Blue Highways" . No one did it before... OR as well, since!
Yes-yes.....one senses an homeric touch, but with many-a-twist of chuckles! Yes-yes.....she brings the news from within all our four North American quadrants. Yes-yes.....more than likely, Your own favorite village and hamlet get squeezed!
Relish, then relish again! It's an easy, fanciful read AND no *fancy* is left unturned!"
