Nope, your spelling is just fine. In fact, it suggests that, at some
point in your life, reading may not have been a neglected activity (or
perhaps you just used your spell checker). You would have looked more
like a working-class hero if you had spelled it "boor jaw."
Anyway, it's a great idea. Thanks for reminding us.
In no particular order, here are a few of the books waiting for me this
summer. (And, oh how I wish that the middle class actually did read
more...and I don't mean just the stuff next to the supermarket check-out
line.)
