Although it took me quite few years to successfully visualize that the Clan style of "presenting" was simply doggy-style. It was obvious to an adult, but reading it as a 13 yo, I just couldn't get what it would look like. Was she bending backwards with her knees spread? That sounded painful and awkward!

Hahaahh! I'm glad I'm not the only one who was super confused by that as a kid.

I agree, sj. The first book was quicker, or, I think the tension was greater or something. It was more compelling, but then, the heroine was in more danger. The second one was more of a mystery.

Yes, that exactly. I do adore Aralorn and Wolf though.

I join the ranks of the super confused.

They're a very neat couple.

Has anybody read Daphne Du Maurier's short stories?

Has anybody read Daphne Du Maurier's short stories?

Yes, I read the original Don't Look Now collection for my classic horror book salon. I really only liked "Don't Look Now" and "A Border-Line Case." The other three stories were a bit of a bore. However, that new edition has a few more stories, including "The Birds," which I've read elsewhere and liked.

Okay, but have you read this cult classic about the Opera?

Man, I just love scrolling through the NYRB Classics catalog.

And, not on the NYRB list, but one of my all-time favorite comic novels and somehow little known: My Search for Warren Harding by Robert Plunket.

No, but that reminds me that I need to order my opera tickets for this fall.
