"Memo: Today is July 7, 1977."


I found this in a used copy of LITTLE WOMEN: "Memo: Today is July 7, 1977. You can also write that 7/7/77. No one will be able to write that again for 100 years. I am 13 years old. Maybe I'll live for another century. Goodbye 7/7/77."

  3. Off topic, but I'm enjoying "The Secret History," which I hear you read 15 TIMES. Michelle recommended. Masterful storytelling so far (bout halfway through). Real distinctive voice, smart, eloquent.
