Sorry, but if she hates New York that much, may I respectfully invite her to move. Give her apartment to someone who appreciates it.

Oh dear--in her own way, as pretentious as Philippa Gregory! I tried to slog through THE PEOPLE IN THE TREES, which could easily have been half as long and still have told the same predictable story. I didn't even bother with A LITTLE LIFE. Some authors just aren't for me.

I just read The Face on the Cutting-Room floor by Cameron McCabe. The author's real name is Ernest Borneman. There's an interview with him in which he talks about having more books than many university libraries: 20,000 to 30,000. He buys about 100 a month. It's too much trouble to actually go to university libraries for his research.
