This book feels like real love

Sorry I was so disappointed

I ordered The Book of Delights, expecting encouragement in finding delights in my life (and I'm going ahead with that goal anyway....) Perhaps I'm too old to understand, or perhaps after hearing Mr. Gay's interview on NPR I had expectations which were too high, but I returned the book for a refund. What a shame! And yes, I received it quickly and was pleased with that.
