In the July 12 issue of the New York Times Book Review section, which was happily plopped onto my desk 20 minutes ago, I found my new favorite Letter to the Editor.
It reads:
“I continue to be amazed at the number of advice books listed each week in the Book Review as best sellers. I have led a long, productive life based on only two pieces of advice, both of which I learned as a preschooler some 80 years ago. First, I try to place nicely with everybody; second, if I am crabby, I take a nap. What more does anyone need to know?” – Eleanor Blumenberg of Santa Monica, CA
All I can say is, with jems like that, Ms. Blumenberg- are you by any chance looking for a book publisher? Call me.
