Between Thanksgiving and New Years, Bookworm & Husband
were in the car enough to finish Whitethorn
Woods by Maeve Binchy in audiobook form. 
We got this from the library, and Andrew hated it.  I thought it was somewhat better than sitting
in complete silence, which we occasionally chose over the book.  We also used these breaks to discuss the
merits of Chik-fil-a versus Burger King. 
If Andrew were to write a blog, this could be a potential topic.  Other ideas include: How To Grow The Most
Expensive Tomato Possible and High School Relay Races in Western Pennsylvania
’95-’99.
Binchy is a girly author, but in my defense I gave Andrew
three choices from the library and he picked this one.  Neither of us knew that the book would be a
collection of a million (rough guesstimate) short stories and characters that
barely connected to each other.  This was
particularly hard to follow since we listened to the book over a period of five
weeks.  
I still like Maeve Binchy, but this was not her best
work.  And for the record, I pick the Chik-fil-a
chicken strips any day of the week. 
Well, except Sundays.
