Still a bracing read

Hard to admit, but I guess anything set in the 90s is now a "period piece". No cell phones. Bay Area real estate prices from another age (or the future!!) But a good yarn is still a pretty good yarn. Characters you love to hate and hate to love. Finch has a way of infusing his fiction with the strong odor of truth.

Of all the stories in this
Of all the stories in this book, Loia Feuchter's Knotty Knitters really resonates with me. I have been involved in several knitting groups that work with hospitals and clinics, and pass4sure EX0-101
I know that we help ourselves as much as we do the people who receive the hats, afghans, and other items we make. Knitting is really a healing art. Just the repetitive motion of moving your hands tends to turn your mind away from stressors in your life. And for more complicated patterns, pass4sure N10-004
knitting requires real concentration (and math!) that helps focus your mind. When I look ahead to the progression of my disease, pass4sure 642-812 one of my greatest fears is that I might not be able to knit someday. But knitting groups are great way to banish worry and the sense of dread that comes with illness. it is a real blessing and one definitely worth reading about.pass4sure 646-204

IT IS A GOOD YARN
I was exploring the site and figured I'd read a few pages and ended up reading the whole thing in two sittings. If it weren't online, I'd say Paradise Junction is "hard to put down." Yes it is a little dated, but the characters are still fresh.

Actually rather timely
I'm not so sure Paradise Junction is dated, at least not the main characters. They're completely ruthless and materialistic. They tear through their money to support a lifestyle they can't afford. A veteran is lost, displaced out of the service. So what's changed?
