/ October 30, 2012Actually I think you would enjoy reading the original. It’s full of gems such as Chapter II, which is entitled “How Women Can Keep From Being Nervous.” The title of the chapter I erased is “You Have No Idea How I Am Rushed.” Other chapter headings include “Irritable Husbands” and, possibly my favorite, “Imaginary Vacations.” You can find the original text here on Project Gutenberg, which is now my go-to place for potential erasure texts. I may be mining this particular territory for weeks, though, if not months.
