[1292]
I've only made, - /this is only my third call. /
[1291]
Oh. /
[1292]
[ I, + I ] tried to make calls two different days /{C and } I couldn't get through. /
[1291]
{F Oh, } I know. /Sometimes I just - /I'm, in, - /it just takes a very long time /{C so, } -/
[1292]
Does it? /Yeah, /I've been trying to, {D you know, } do that, /[ {C and, } + {C and } ] sometimes I just can't wait that long, /
[1291]
# Yeah, /I know. # /
[1292]
# {C so } I just # hang up.
[1291]
{D Well. } /
[1292]
Because it keeps going through the thing over and over again. /
[1291]
This is hilarious
[1292]
{C But } I knew as soon as I heard your voice, /I thought, [ Kathy's, + it's Kathy ] (( Kester ))
[1291]
{F Oh. } {D Well, } tell me, what books have you read lately?
[1292]
{D Well, } let's see, /[ I, + {F um, }
[1291]
{D Well, } I don't read all that much for enjoyment. /{E I mean, } I read a lot for school, /{C but } {D gee, } I just don't have much time for enjoyment reading
[1292]
Yeah. /[ The, + the ] last book I picked up was a book by Judy Bloom, /
[1291]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1292]
# {C and } # [ it was, + {F um, } it was ] called, {F um, } SMART WOMEN, I think.
[1291]
{F Um. } /
[1292]
{F Um, } or something like that. /
[1291]
Yeah. /
[1292]
{C And } [ it was, + it was ] kind of, - /I really didn't like it at all. /
[1291]
{F Huh. } /
[1292]
[ It was, + it was ] written back in the early eighties. /
[1291]
{F Oh, } yeah. /
[1292]
{C And } it was all [ this, + this, ] {F um, } divorced woman syndrome --
[1291]
{F Oh, } yeah. /
[1292]
-- of the, {F um, } - /it was almost like [ a, + a ] pre-AIDS scare kind of thing. /
[1291]
Interesting. /
[1292]
It was really an interesting, - /{C because } [ I, + I ] right away looked at when it was copyrighted.
[1291]
Uh-huh. /
[1292]
Because I could tell by the theme [ of + ] almost when it was written. /
[1291]
Yes, /yes, /yeah. /Uh-huh. /
[1292]
And, {F um, }
[1291]
# Yeah. # /
[1292]
# going # on. /
[1291]
Yeah. /That kind of was, {F um, } kind of a pop psychology time for [ wh-, + when ] a lot of books like that were coming out, I think. /
[1292]
That's right. /
[1291]
{C And so } that makes real sense, that that's, {F um, } when it was written. /
[1292]
Yeah, /yeah. /
[1291]
{F Um, } I [ haven't, + wasn't ] really aware that she had written anything for, {F um, } adults. /I was always,
[1292]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1291]
# just # more aware of her jer-, {D you know, } - /for her young people, her books. -/ *[[one utt?]]
[1292]
Yeah, /{C and } she's more famous for that, /
[1291]
Uh-huh. /
[1292]
{C but } she has been writing for adults also, /
[1291]
I'll be darned. /
[1292]
{C and so } I thought {D hey, } I'll just try this, {D you know, }
[1291]
# Yeah. # /
[1292]
# and # see what it was like. /It was very, {F um, } - /
[1291]
Uh-huh. /
[1292]
[1291]
Yeah. /
[1292]
-- rather than any description. /
[1291]
Right, /yeah, /yeah. /
[1292]
You know how that is, /{C and } {F um, } -/
[1291]
Yeah. /I wonder if she's written anything really recently, if she's got anything [ printed, + in print. ] /
[1292]
Yeah, /she has, /{C because } [ I, + I ] remember seeing a new book by her --
[1291]
Uh-huh. /
[1292]
-- that was out, /{C and } I think [ it was a, + it was an ] adult book. /
[1291]
I'll be darned. /
[1292]
{D So } {D anyway, } -/
[1291]
Yeah. /
[1292]
{C but } that's the last thing [ I, + I've ] read, /
[1291]

[1292]
# {C and, } # {F um, } -/
[1291]
{D Well, } it's, - /I'm trying to think the last actual book I read that wasn't, - /let's see, I think I read, {F oh, } - /when I was [ on vacation, {F um, } between semester break and summer, + {D you know, } on semester break between spring and summer ] -- -/
[1292]
Yeah. /
[1291]
-- {C and } I went to my mother's, /I read a book that I [ have, + should have ] read when I was probably in high school. /I read, {F um, } JANE EYRE. /
[1292]
[1291]
[1292]
WUTHERING HEIGHTS? /
[1291]
No, /it was, {F um, } {F uh, } PRIDE AND PREJUDICE,

# {F Oh, } yeah, # /
[1291]
# by Jane # Austen. /
[1292]
by Jane Austen, /yes. /
[1291]
That's what it was, /yes. /
[1292]
Yes. /
[1291]
{C And, } {F um, } {D you know, } [ I, + I ] didn't know what to expect, except I had heard [ that, + that ] Jane Austen was such a wonderful novelist, /{C and }
[1292]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1291]
# intricately # /[ {C and, } + {F um, } {C and, } ] {D you know, } I just, - /{C but } [ I, + as I say, I ] was pretty much ashamed that I hadn't read something before then. /
[1292]
Yeah. /Because [ [ I, + I think I was, ] + I think ] I read it in college,# or # had to [ write it, + read it ] in high school or college, /{C but } I don't remember it. /
[1291]
Yeah, /yeah. /
[1292]
{C And then } when Jennie had to read it at Gettysburg --
[1291]
Uh-huh. /
[1292]
-- [ and + ] [ I got her the, + I got ] her someone, - /I think it was, {F um, } {F oh, } some actress reading it. /
[1291]
{F Oh, } how interesting. /
[1292]
{D You know, } they had an abridged version of it on tape. /
[1291]
Yeah. /
[1292]
{C And so } I got that for her, /{C and } she loved doing that. /
[1291]
{F Oh, } I'll bet, /yeah. /
[1292]
{C But } I remember that was the book. /
[1291]
Yeah. /
[1292]
{C And } {D now } [ I, + {E I mean, } I ] think it's around here somewhere, /
[1291]
# (( Right )) /I wouldn't be, #
[1292]
# I'm just going to # have to put it,

[1291]
Sure. /{F Oh, } yeah. /
[1292]
{C But, } {F um, } -/
[1291]
{D Well, } I read that, /{C and then } I'm trying to think, {F um, } - /usually I try [ to, + to ] find something long

[1291]
# I'm # going to, - /when - /[ if, + if ] I have long periods of time, like Christmas vacation, or, {D you know, } when I know I'm not going to be doing anything for a while, {F um, } /

Yeah. /{F Oh, } that's what I do too. /
[1291]
Yeah, /{C and } that's about it, because otherwise I'm reading so much for school. /[ I'm, + {F um, } I ] have just started reading a book. /{D Actually, } it's for school, /{C but } it's for, {F um, } - /there's [ a, + a ] literary jour-, - /{D well, } not a literary journal, - /[ it's a, +

[1291]
{F Um, } {C but } it's so long, /[ I, + I ] don't really have the time to read the whole thing, /{C but } I think,

[1291]
Uh-huh. /
[1292]
-- that was similar to that. /
[1291]
Yeah, /yeah. /
[1292]
I think that's probably [ a, + sort of a ] thing to do --

[1292]
-- in small colleges, /

# like # that, /right, /uh-huh, /
[1292]
# Yeah. # /
[1291]
# because # it attracts really [ a, + a ] lot people's interest. /That's one way, - /it's really good public relations for small schools, /
