Oranges and Peaches

A patron asks a librarian for a book called "Oranges and Peaches." The librarian asks, Do you happen to know the book's author? The patron replies, Oh, it's by someone named Darwin. I have to read it for a class. The librarian finds a copy of "The Origin of Species" for the patron.

Just another Monday

From a woman who gives me the best reading recommendations...
What's that book about a woman who fled the pogroms in Russia, and then tried to find the daughter she was separated from?
Away: a novel, by Amy Bloom. A pogrom is a "Russian term, originally meaning “riot,” that came to be applied to a series of violent attacks on Jews in Russia in the late 19th and early 20th cent."
