"how about reading a BOOK"

A very nice family let me and some other relatives stay in their house for a holiday when we were playing musical-cities. I brought a book with me, but another relative was looking for something to read, and noticed that there were NO BOOKS.

Both parents were professionals. At least one of them was college-educated. They had several children in school. They were clearly very Christian. But we couldn't even find a Bible.

TOTAL culture clash.

And, for the record, the first thing that made me cringe was the use of "no nothing" in the article.
