Morality for beautiful girls - Alexander McCall Smith

Ett problem med att ha en sån här blogg och någorlunda troget rapportera om allt man läser uppstår när man läser del tre, fyra eller tolv i en serie och den mest är som de tidigare delarna. Vad skriver man då? Så någon utförlig recension av Alexander McCall Smiths tredje bok om privatdetektiv Precious Ramotswe blir det inte, däremot ett favoritcitat ur boken:

Mma Ramotswe had got out of the habit of a cooked lunch, except at weekends, and was happy with a snack or a glass of milk. She had a taste for sugar, however, and this meant that a doughnut or a cake might follow the sandwich. She was a traditionally built lady, after all, and she did not have to worry about dress size, unlike those poor, neurotic people who were always looking in mirrors and thinking that they were too big. What was too big, anyway? Who was to tell another person what size they should be? It was a form of dictatorship, by the thin, and she was not having any of it. If these thin people became any more insistent, then the more generously sized people would just have to sit on them. Yes, that would teach them! Hah!
