His or Hearse

A great thing about airport travel with delays is that one may be able to finish another book. Two books in two days was my mid-week mantra. By completing Half Broke Horses: A True-Life Novel by Jeannette Walls, I am back to GBC neutral with this year's reads. Reports from last meeting indicated this book had mixed reviews, however I liked the story. I am certain that the author's graduation from Barnard and travel delirium contributed to my enjoyment of the work. I also laughed aloud when the narrator recounted her conversation with Jim regarding the school bus (hearse). "Painting the word 'dog' on the side of a pig don't make the pig a dog," he said. He is right, but I gave her credit for creativity.
