Sympathy for Enoch, a hitchhiking dwarf, disrupts her orderly plans. Enoch's free spirit, quirky humor, and inquisitive mind contrast vividly with Larry's controlling ways. In a separate voyage, Figman, an insurance claims adjuster on the run, relocates to New Mexico after surviving a lethal car crash that results in an unfair lawsuit against him. Now prone to migraines and the conviction that he is dying, Figman embarks on new adventures. Late in the novel, these two distinct love stories converge on a highway in near collision.

7) Nurse
Anderson, Peggy

Nurse
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Berkley Publishing Group, 1979. Reviewer: older reader - This book records the personal experiences and history of one nurse at a large urban hospital. She is the head nurse in charge of one floor. It recounts her experiences and her personal life. I wonder what she would now say thirty years later? TV dramas show intense activity; they skip the mundane daily events. "Drama is real life without the dull spots." This nurse often talks about death and dying; that seems like a sign of unhappiness or depression. Happy people never think about dying; the very idea is obscene, like asking someone if they've been dewormed lately. (An unfrisky puppy may suffer from this ailment.) This book concentrates on those with incurable illnesses, or with illnesses from poor eating (diabetes). I once read a claim that diabetes is unknown among those who do not eat refined foods. (That may be true, but they may suffer from other illnesses.) But diabetes was described in the time of Hippocrates; it may be as old as civilization. Those who die of TB or cholera at 30 will never live long enough to suffer from diabetes, heart disease, or cancer. You just can't win! The book mentions the problems of untreated diabetes and other illnesses. Is this a plea for National Health Care? I think NHC should be available for all until age 19. We can't guarantee proper eating, healthy living, etc. The pursuit of happiness may not always be a healthful activity.. Spine Lines/Cvr rubs/Clean Older Ed. Mass Market Paperback.

Arnow, Harriette

Hunter's Horn
Avon, 1979. Reviewer: David from Pilot Mountain, NC United States Set in rural Kentucky around WWII, this book is so good, it should replace Huckelberry Finn as "the great american novel". It is ashamed that it isn't better known, but unfortunately Arnow-Simpson is thought of as a regional writer. This is a very deep book, but it also has some very funny parts. Her description of pre-consumerism country life is very detailed and insightful. She saw how the world was changing, and captured a piece of it that is now long gone. I'm not even an hunting type, and I wanted to go out and get a couple of hounds after reading this. Better even than The Dollmaker, and not half as sad. Highly Recommended!.

The Lovo-Maniacs
Bantam, 1973. Reviewer: eddie from Vancouver, Canada Forget "Boogie Nights", because this is the real thing. This book has it all, and Rona tells it all in an unabashed, historically insightful style. An incredible read for the the 90's frame of mind to catch the whimsical surprises of the sexual scandalousness and controversial 70's. An r-rated style, that was subtly covered and smoothed over in Armistead Muapins's 'Tales of the City'. quotes: '...sometimes an enemy can be a condition secured within a person's pysche, which he rarely wishes to acknowledge. But there comes a time for casting-up, when the mirror of life (the facade) must be exchanged for the real mirror of the self (the soul). Even lovo-mananiacs have to face themselves eventually..

Rummies : A Novel

A New York executive has an intervention pulled on him and is whisked away to a rehab facility in Arizona. What goes on there is both funny and infuriating. Benchley seems to understand the alcoholic's twisted logic well and his main character's awakening to his own personal problems and failings ring true. There is a suspense subplot revolving around less than ethical shenanigans at the facility, just to keep the story spicy. An excellent book. Spine lines/tilt/edge wear/no Stamps.
