i thought i commented on this before. apparently not :)
was "A Woman Alone" about woman traveling solo? Did it have helpful hints/tips/ideas? it's a bummer it wasnt' more compelling.
i totally hear you about the snarky sarcastic memoirs. does she deal with a lot of struggles in learning how to be a farmer? i think many people have this romantic fantasy about it but find out the hard way that it's WAY harder than they thought it was going to be (especially if you come from a non-rural background).
on the letter Q - would you think about writing a note to your younger self? i was thinking about that. how much of a difference it could make to a struggling junior high/high school kid to get a message from their future self? then again, that might change your actions/behaviors and that would change who your future self would end up being. still. an interesting thought. i once read a new agey book that suggested that talking to your "younger self" was a way to get through/deal with trauma at that age that it's hard to move past.
the color of water soudns itneresting. how old was the author? just wondering what kind of time period he was growing up in.
I know you said you don't read a lot of mysteries, buyt do you like the ones you've read in general? it's one genre i've never gotten into. sometimes i've enjoyed books that had mystery-like components, but overall i haven't really enjoyed mysteries in general (tho to be fair, i haven't read any in a long time). what i do remember is feeling like you did: how on earth was i supposed to figure that out? while i appreciate having to catch subtleties and nuances without having it beaten into your head, i often felt like they were way TOO subtle and nuanced.
