You should read Kurt Vonnegut's (if you haven't already done so) published in paperback last year. Excellent collection of letters from when he was a student, through Dresden, coming home, and the rest of his interesting life and a wonderful writing style.

The last one was made with a very pissed-off expression on her face. Worth watching on catch up just for that.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-32521937926382675022015-12-25T15:54:58.557-08:002015-12-25T15:54:58.557-08:00I'm with Rachel - it isn't very Christmas ...I'm with Rachel - it isn't very Christmas this year and I'm putting that down to the temperature.
