Letter LETTERS to the editor BOOKS & reading COAL mining MEN BREAST implants Several letters to the editor are presented in response to articles in previous issues including "Shelf Awareness," by Deborah Way in the July 2006 issue, "You Fight for What You've Got, Even If It's Only Worth a Dime," by Jeff Goodell in the July 2006 issue and "How Men Really Feel About Breast Implants," by Tom Chiarella in the July 2006 issue. 1070 858 1531-3247 22250091 MasterFILE Complete letters WE HEAR YOU! Readers sound off on books (can't live without 'em), breasts (gotta love 'em), and an environmental burden we can't afford to bear. Bookish Delight What a wonderful Summer Reading issue [July]! Imagine how awful life would be without new books: the smell of fresh ink and paper, the breaking of an unbroken spine. Or used books: bought in a musty bookstore, littered with curious scribbles in the margins. People sometimes say to me, "You never go anywhere." But they're wrong. I've been to 19th-century Paris and to the trenches of World War I; to a murder scene in Kansas and inside the mind of Virginia Woolf. Books are budget travel. I go everywhere. Jenny Steele Your July issue was absolutely spectacular. As an English major, I'm biased, of course, but also sincerely grateful for a magazine so chock-full of literary brilliance. Please consider starting another magazine devoted to books, or at least dedicating regular editions to the all too often forgotten but timeless art of reading. Christy Hagen In Praise of Dog Ears Like novelist Erin McGraw, who was quoted in "Shelf Awareness" [by Deborah Way, July], I, too, mangle my books, dog-earing pages and highlighting beloved passages I later transcribe into a computerized file I call Keepers. I've saved quotes from my favorite authors, including Larry McMurtry, Cormac McCarthy; and William Kittredge--whose description of killing mice as a child in a "private little fever" induced a fever of my own. And for a book to remain on my shelves, I must love it; otherwise I donate it to Friends of the Library and claim it as a tax deduction. Renee Thompson Mining Offense Thank you for Jeff Goodell's report on coal mining in southern Appalachia ["You Fight for What You've Got, Even If It's Only Worth a Dime," July]. It's heartening to see publications like O highlight environmental issues so intimately linked to social justice, disease, and violence. Once we start to realize the impact ecological degradation has on our quality of life, perhaps we'll start to make crucial changes. Jen Schneider, PhD Bosom Beauties "How Men Really Feel About Breast Implants" [by Tom Chiarella, July] was a perfect read. When I went from an A cup to a C ten years ago, I awoke from the surgery thinking, What did I do? I was no longer athletic but voluptuous. Tops that were once cute brought me unwelcome attention, and I couldn't play sports or reach certain yoga poses without being aware of my breasts. My husband said he didn't know the woman who did that to herself. After a while, I didn't, either. So I recently had them removed. I'm back to my original size, and my husband agrees that I'm sexier than ever. Chiarella is right: It's not about whether a woman has implants-- it's about her being comfortable with who she is. Anne N. RIDGEFIELD, CONNECTICUT An Apple Fritter and a Prayer After reading "The Binge from Hell (and Back)" [by Anne Lamott, July], I now know I'm not the only person on earth who has conversations with God about baked goods. Thank you, Anne, for your honesty, wisdom, and humor. I don't feel so alone in my struggle with food. Ellen Niemitalo Simple Pleasures Thank you so much for "Is There Anything Better Than a Tomato Sandwich?" [by Celia Barbour, July]. It brought back memories of childhood summer days and of my mother, who ate tomatoes as though they were apples. They're best enjoyed simply, just as Barbour described. Shirley Remes Bye-Bye (Belly) Blues Eve Ensler hit the nail on the head about body hatred in her June article, "Belly, Dancing." When I was 12, my great-grandmother told me I'd be fat when I grew up--as if I didn't hate having a tummy when my friends were slim and fiat. Her comment stayed with me. Even as an adult, seeing young girls in jeans and skimpy tops made me wish I had the same figure at that age. I'm still Rubenesque, but today, after two bouts of breast cancer, a mastectomy, an implant, chemo, radiation, and several more surgeries, I have a fiat stomach and perky breasts. What a price to pay for a perfect body! Never again will I say, "I hate my_." Christi Rich Water Waste Please retract your suggestion to ditch the car wash for a hose and a bottle of wax in your June article "Burn Fat, Save the Earth" [by Dusty Horwitt]. Car washes are required by code to dispose of contaminated water properly; when you wash your car by hand, the soap, wax, and oil drain into the groundwater table and natural waterways, negating the advantages gained by conserving electricity.
