She was the reason everyone knew what the Pacific Northwest was like at the time but it was a very remote area and al hankinson was the one who translated the region for the world really. People read all kinds of books and telling them. I think the biggest difference between here and some big city is that i think in places perhaps like ally in new york people some of the old an obligation to read certain books so they can talk about them at cocktail parties. I think the kind of books people talk about at cocktail parties here are not those things that are extremely popular. Theres something unusual.
