Just finished the RBG book this afternoon. It is very dense and not for readers with a casual interest in Ginsburg or the law, but I thought it was fascinating for the most part. A better starting place might be Notorious RBG.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-10174444170682416632019-01-20T19:14:22.028-05:002019-01-20T19:14:22.028-05:00Les - Hope you have good luck with the orange chic...Les - Hope you have good luck with the orange chicken.

Fascinating reading and listening! Feel like I'm in heaven looking at all the wonderfully fresh produce at Whole Foods!

The RBG bio would be good for a long road trip. It's much more detailed than Notorious RBG and definitely holding my attention. Wish there were more bookstores around that carried NYRB Classics and Europa!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.com
