She tried to have a relationship with him and craved emotional intimacy, but he refused her.
Some of her letters to him at this point are pretty interesting in a "fuck you, you goddamn quitter wimp!" way.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yes they are! I read their letters about a year ago and it was pretty fascinating.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
This was a time when scholars and priests thought that just being near women would taint them and keep them from achieving intellectual and spiritual enlightenment.
They were right, you know. It's true. We have amazing powers. 'Cause we're pretty and smell nice. And -- boobies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not for nothing, but there are millions of men alive today who are terrified of the Magical Powers of Women. Even just looking at a woman could fuck you up!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I have two nonfiction book recommendations:
Phil Dusenberry,
Then We Set His Hair on Fire
Simon Singh,
Big Bang
Both books are great reads, very interesting, and made me think about things in a new way.
