It took me a long time to finish this book, but I'm glad I did. I think I will keep it, despite purging lots of books lately. This category, the history of everyday things, is a favorite of mine. I learned several things, and if I read it again, I'm sure I'd learn some more on the second pass through. I have not always had an interest in history, but if this sort of thing were included in the school history courses, I would have possibly filed more away.

25. The Blinds, by some New York journalist
This is another one for the book club. The ladies are nice, but the books are often not worthy, like this one, for example.
The author shows disdain for older folks (and by his definition anybody over fifty is in mental and physical decline), overweight individuals, and scientists.
Surely there are better books out there that don't even get published, but journalists have an inside track.
Well, the other women in the book group were more open-minded than myself, and found this book interesting and worthy of discussion.
