Why Don’t We Focus On Conquering Air Travel Before Space Travel, Eh?

This is a book blog with underlying themes of Airline Hate.  This week’s entry is sponsored by the idiots at AirCanada, who made a mother-to-be go without her vitamins and most of her maternity wardrobe for 3 days.  Not to mention hairbrush.

This frustration was the background to Shine Shine Shine by Lydia Netzer, lent to me by Blog Reader Valerie.  Netzer was recently in Richmond at The Fountain Bookstore, approximately 100 steps from my office but I missed the book signing due to Norman’s rigorous schedule of food and exercise. 

When Valerie gave the book to Andrew to give to me, my Hardworking But Not Dependable on Social Details Husband forgot to mention the little tidbit that Valerie didn’t really like the second half, and wanted to know what I thought.  Here is what I thought:  not good.  The book was definitely unique – I don’t read a lot of stories about a bald woman and her husband who is populating the moon with robots – but it was too weird for me.  Not enough reasons to be sad, and very, very far fetched.  Man will never get to the moon!!  We can barely get home from Canada and back with all of our makeup.
