Great links. I haven’t read Jacob’s Guinea Pig diaries yet. Will soon. I bet any tv show would be a hoot. Irish Country Doctor arrived yesterday so thank you again.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Robin – I’m so glad you finally got it!
They’re going to turn The Guinea Pig Diaries into a TV show? I wonder how that will work? I enjoyed the book, although I didn’t love it as much as I thought I would. I haven’t read anything else by him yet.

Avis – I enjoyed it, but thought The Know-It-All and The Year of Living Biblically were better.
Yeah, my feeling was that I would enjoy a book-length story more than his essays. I’m definitely planning to give him another chance!
