New book out supporing loner lifestyle

[IrishAyes]

5. I'll try to get a copy to read.

Sometimes it bothers me the way too many people who are afraid to be alone themselves, malign those of us who prefer it. As if we're the dangerously maladjusted ones. When I lived in AZ at the end of a 5-mile dirt road on a little ranch bordering state land, one of the awful women at work told everybody I lived in a Kazenski shack and the boss said bad things about me as a result. I offered to drive her out there to show her my place, which had been custom built by a contractor for his retirement so you can bet it was no shack - but she preferred to believe what the devil woman told her.

A book I found at a sale at the little library here is called 'The Joy of Solitude'. But I want to read the other one too. Thanks for the post. I like reading stuff that makes me feel normal!
