an astonishing book

I loved this book. I have loved all of her books. I started by reading "An Accidental Autobiography" I was hooked. I would read her writing every day if I could. This book takes you on a journey through her eyes. Everything she looks at is written about beautifully, like a poem. Strange, unusual circumstances are often written about, This woman knows how to amaze readers. She is so smart, witty, warm. I am now reading "Off Center" I think that I am resigned to reading every precious word that she writes.
