Tag Name "Semple" (3)

With fiction, it could be about anything. It just has to be good writing, like Maria Semple's Where'd You Go, Bernadette, which I read recently. I want to forget I have a book in my hand.

When I forgave Jock Semple on Heartbreak Hill, I also got really cross with women. I couldn't understand why they didn't get it, why they didn't know that running was so cool and why they weren't in the race as well. Then I thought to myself How stupid can you be? You've had so much encouragement and motivation and these women haven't.

Jock Semple said Oh the women ran well today the Boston Marathon and they deserve to be in the race. I had to laugh. I said Well it took us five years but anyway, we're here. It pretty much changed everything.
