    A Circle of Firends was a very big book, yes, about 35 years ago.

    I am very impatient with ebooks and ditched the nonfiction and am now trying Breakfast with Buddha. My library has no plan to do curbside pickup although they could. ( Bookstores are.) I think they have gotten used to having the building to themselves with no pesky patrons and homeless people.

    It seems to be mostly "I'm too sexy for my shirt," but the introspective parts are interesting.
