delightful!

A most pleasant way to spend a summer afternoon! Highly recommended for those interested in literary history, interior design, American architectural history, etc. The coffee table size is deceptive-- this is an engagingly well written and researched book.

Obsessed with the DVD series.

Hey, it only took a month to get this title through the Duluth, MN Inter-library Loan system. Progress!

awesome

Amy's happy.

reading for book club

this is a delightful read

My public library only has ONE copy of this book. (wtf?) So now I have to wait another six weeks to get it again.

"... What do you suppose Lord Sebastian wanted? A hair brush for his teddy-bear; it had to have very stiff bristles, not, Lord Sebastian said, to brush him with, but to threaten him with a spanking when he was sulky. He bought one with an ivory back and he's having "Aloysius" engraved on it-- that's the bear's name.' The man who, in his time, had had ample chance to tire of undergraduate fantasy, was captivated."

I am the type that watches the film before reading the book. Yay for Christmas vacation!

Happily making progress... after waiting over a month for the book to arrive....

Continuing my F. Scott Fitzgerald spree.

No happy endings here (spoiler alert!).

Found a PDF! So delicious.

Finally reading Seligman because:

1. I ran across a used paperback in a store called "Cheapo Applause" (yes really) that is across from my vacation rental.

2. I'm a lifelong optimist (it's served me well) and now I have tons of scientific evidence to back up my worldview when confronted by all the Debbie Downers of the world. (p.s. Seligman says they're most likely going to die an early death anyway).
