Great book review. I don’t know anything about Ms Murdoch but now I most definitely want to. Thanks for sharing.

French it’s a beautiful, beautiful language. Good luck with it. Interesting your review.

You know, I hate self improvement books. This is not one. It was strictly my reaction to it. I used to joke about wanting to become a saint. It will never happen, but I can be good, no?
Je ne parle pas francais. A worthy goal to learn to if you like to shop in France, which I do.

No, Judith, you’re NOT Iris Murdoch, and thank bog for it! You’re Judith, who is quite a person in her own right. So you don’t read/write/speak Classical Greek. So WHAT! You speak Useful Kitchen, which is a pretty esoteric language itself, and not many people are fluent in it. You do have courage, in great chunks, and have always been open to learning new things, which is the essence of Ms. Murdoch. You have always marched to your own drummer, carved a path that seemed right to you, and have, as far as I know, tried for the Good in all your endeavors. You’re a pretty neat human being yourself! And you’re a lot more likeable than Ms. Murdoch.

Well, I know I just read a book, but the book said she was adored. That would be nice.
I have been snarky in the past. It runs in the family.

This is just a test.
Shucks, I posted a long comment about the ease of learning Greek. What happened to that and other I posted? I’m not doing something right. So this is a test.
BTW I really, really, really like Lynnegh and am envious of her.

BTW, Murdoch was also a terrible housekeeper and she didn’t care. So I’ve got that half right, but I care.
I have known Lynne a long time, but not as long as you.

If you want to learn French, you should start shooting other men on your other blog. You know, the French kind!

OK, lacking an American library, and since I doubt there are any Italian comic books about Murdoch (hehe, that\’s my reading level in Italian at the moment, alas!) and the nearest American library is 6,000 miles away or so, I\’m gonna go hit up google to learn more about Murdoch. Thanks for the review!
