Thinking this is going to be a fun book to read....

   It was an ordinary day, a Friday, twenty minutes till lunch-
time, five hours till quitting time and the weekend, ten months
till vacation, thirty-seven years till retirement.  Then the
phone rang.
  "Man here to see you, Si."  It was Vera, at the switchboard.
"He has no appointment."
   "That's okay.  He's my connection; I need a fix."
   "What you need can't be fixed."  She clicked off. I got up,
wondering who it was; an artist in an advertising agency
doesn't usually have too many visitors.  The main reception
room was on the floor below, and I took the long route
through Accounting and Media, but no new girls had been
hired.

-Jack Finney, as excerpted from Time and Again

Friend Jeff sent along notice that this was a book to be read.
Via the wonders of Amazon, a few short days later the mailman
brings me this slightly worn, but otherwise excellent, forty-one
year old book.  Vintage stuff, available essentially for the price
of delivery.  God bless the Intertunnel.  Thanks Jeff.
