I read "the Egg and I" first and really enjoyed it. Anybody Can Do Anything" presented a different side of Betty and, of course, includes her whole family and lots of insights into living through the Great Depression. She has a subtle humor throughout.
I am now looking for "The Plague and I." I also learned that her sister Mary wrote a few books and want to read them.
