Thank you for that piece of advice, smc. Ah yes, the dreaded Oprah recommendation. Perhaps the only good thing she has ever done was that William Faulkner box set. (Which oddly enough sits across from me right now...) I never much cared for the woman, never have seen her show, but when I learned she had enthusiastically endorsed the book "The Secret" I knew with how many grains of salt to take her. Aren't you a teacher, smc?
And I just saw he's New Age, so yeah...
How does that Menken quote go: "For every complex problem there is a simple, easy and wrong solution?"
