I think vw has the right to call out when she's feeling uncomfortable- and this has been going on for *days*. It's not like it's just come up.
I have been pretty uncomfortable with descriptions of these books, too - to the extent of having bad dreams inspired by them. I resorted to blocking out swaths of posts when the discussion was revving high - and asking Daniel when it was safe to look again. Kinda like how we watch episodes of House. I was not intending to say anything, but vw is not the only one who is uncomfortable.
The suggestion to carry the Elsie discussion to Literary seems like a good one.
I really haven't had a sense that the discussion was about Christianity per se, but more about the highly dysfunctional relationship between Elsie and her father and about the context of the book
The dysfunction is what was getting to me.
I'm really sorry, WindSparrow. If I'd known it was causing nightmares, I would have stopped posting about it. I was mostly reading as a distraction from my shoulder hurting, and I'm really sorry that it was causing other people pain.
I am cooking again tonight. Marinated chicken breast with broccoli.
Mmmm... Delicious, if I do say so myself! Possibly a little oversalted, but only buy that last dash.
I won't mind if the Elsie talk dies but I would happily follow it to Literary.
Having it in Literary works, but I would like to see more.

{{{{Hil}}} The books are so completely boggling, I can see how they would be an effective distraction. And I know you were not trying to hurt anyone.
If you can secure the screen so that it doesn't flap, and keeps the gap that is probably what attracted them in the first place, that would be optimal. But yeah, what JZ said. There's a reason for the saying "bird brained."
Long time, no read, no post. I thought I'd work late then hop on BART and go have Thai food at the awesome food court underneath Nordstrom but it got too late. Reading Bitches and eating dark chocolate + hazelnuts is fun but probably not the best dinner in the world. Tasty yes.
I was unable to avoid the seasonal aisle. Orange cream Cadbury eggs are indeed wondrous things.
