“As I was whizzing around the United States on yet another demented book tour, getting up at four in the morning to catch planes, doing two cities a day, eating the Pringle food object out of the mini-bar at night as I crawled around on the hotel room floor, too tired even to phone room service, I thought, 'There must be a better way of doing this'.” WayTwoBookStatesNightUnitedRoomsCitiesMorningUnited StatesFourObjectsEatingTiredPhonesBarsPlanesHotelBetter WaysHotel RoomsDementedRoom ServicePringles Author:Margaret Atwood
