I'm Impressed ...

With Kellogg's All-Bran bars. I know what you're all thinking, and no, I'm not looking to introduce fibre for any particular reason, I'm merely continuing with my ongoing saga to find easy and healthy snacks that require no effort on my part.

In Dropped Threads various celebrities as well as unknown housewives and academics discuss the experiences that have amazed and disappointed them. Each piece contains a “shock of recognition” that will certainly engage the aging female reader. Essays by such literary luminaries as Margaret Atwood, June Callwood, Eleanor Wachtel, Sharon Butala and Marni Jackson are included in this unusual collection."

I also found that there's a second edition:
