If you enjoy reading as much as I do, you might find this book worthwhile. Here from the folks at Did You Know Facts, is the information about this novel.
‘A Void’ is a 300-page autobiographical novel written entirely without the letter ‘e.’ Author Georges Perec lost both parents during the Holocaust and spent his youth living under a fake identity, so the absence of such a familiar letter symbolizes his life and loss. The book has over 12 translations by authors who also wrote them without using the most common letter of their alphabets.
It must be hard for a writer to not use a certain letter in his writings, especially one like the letter E.
Coffee out on the patio again today. After the high of 84 yesterday, we are expecting only the high 70s today.

As I read the article and then Rob's comment I could help but think of the way people text today. It is mostly syllables, drives me crazy trying to figure out what they mean sometimes.
It was in the 80's here yesterday to and by bed time the house still hadn't cooled down enough for sleeping even though I had the ceiling fan running for a few hours, checked the thermastat and it was 81 in the house Had to turn on a/c. See you on the patio
