Ms IP, who shall go pseudonymous since this is unlocked (and whom I have been remiss in contacting lately) recommended these two books to me a few months ago.

Read them.  No, really.  I just may make them your Christmas/Birthday/Solstice/Hannukah/NY/Kwanzaa/I-care-about-you-do-I-really-need-an-excuse presents.

A long ago co-worker recommended them to

That sounds scary.

Not exactly what I expected to get when I made that "Holiday Greetings" phone call this morning. I'm still rattled.

I agree with everything you're saying, but there is some backstory to this post that I would love to hear.

I am glad to see you suggesting these books to people.
