Freedom

I plowed through Franzen's new book in just a few days. I wish I'd taken it a little slower, and savored it. But, rushing through was fun too!
My favorite passage is from near the end of the book about a lesbian couple who have two year old twins:

"Between Cathy's job as a public defender and Donna's at a women's shelter, the two of them together earned one decent salary and were getting one person's decent night sleep."
