That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I have a whole THING about Kingsolver. I really loved her early Arizona/NM books. It's gone downhill since then. I did not like Poisonwood Bible. I hated Animal Vegetable Mineral. Lacuna was annoying as shit. And the most recent was meh. Why do I keep reading her work? Because I loved Animal Dreams so much.

I love both the early books and, in a different way, Poisonwood Bible, which was the first book to really open up Africa to me. But the later ones have been really uneven. I liked The Lacuna OK, but Flight Behavior really grated on me, and I remember I didn't like Prodigal Summer all that much either. I will say, though, that Flight Behavior has really freaked me out but good about climate change, which is really what she's going for, I think, so... good for her?

So jealous! Have a fabulous time!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Puppies!!! I remember loving the video of the grown shiba inu (Kimiko) watching the puppies on the computer and being so confused.

I also remember liking The Poisonwood Bible, but I don't remember what happend or what it was about.

Right? It was such a polemic (?), but definitely effective. It didn't help that it rained the whole week I was reading it.

I with the people who love Animal Dreams. I think I started with the Bean Trees and the other early books and didn't much like The Poisonwood Bible and have been unable to finished Lacuna.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

"Anything you say will be used against you in a court of law" when they are supposed to mean "anything you say can/may be used against you in a court of law".

That's like the safety warnings on equipment that say "Death or injury will occur" instead of "may occur". My impression is that TV is about 50/50 on the Miranda rights, but I don't watch a lot of procedurals.
