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."

Always Anti-fascist!
I actually *did* enjoy Curious Incident and thought the author did a great job capturing autistic savant-ness.

That's one guess. Nobody knows for sure. All that's really known is that he pulled the nightgown from her shoulders and was put off. Effie's second husband reported no complaints, so the problem is clearly his rather than hers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Or the second husband is a big old perv.

I also enjoyed Curious Incident a lot. I listened to it on tape, actually, and the narrator did a fabulous job with Christopher's voice.
I stopped by the Fall Festival in a nearby small town today, just as they were closing up (at 2pm!) and got 4 books for $2 at the Friends of the Library's table: Don't Think of an Elephant by George Lakoff, Pigs in Heaven by Barbara Kingsolver (love her), Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee, and Norton's Anthology of English Literature (4th ed.)! Plus, cider doughnuts. I was quite pleased.

She had to be examined by medical doctors in order to prove virginity for the annulment; none of the doctors reported anything out of the way.

Here's a site that does book recommendations: [link]
You don't have to sign up to get a rec, but if you do you can add to their database and thus improve the recommendations. Otherwise, just enter an author/title of a book you like.

There's a sequel to "Wicked" that just came out. Title: Son of a Witch.

So the DH is reading The Sexual Life of Catherine M. and occasionally sharing bits of it with me. The blurbs all say it's erotic, which appears to be untrue, but several passages have gotten lodged in my brain.
Including "I masturbate with the punctuality of a civil servant."
Since she's French, I can only assume this means she starts late, knocks off early, never achieves orgasm, and expects the government to pay her as if she had.
