What new quote thingy? It's all the same for me. Maybe it's because you're not a flamer anymore.

I couldn't be anymore flamer than Dogo (unless, of course, we're talking McPrincess)... and yet he's also complaining... No, it's not a flamer thing.

Well... I don't really like to recommend any books (mainly because of the Buffy factor) but... let's see, for you... hmmm, think Lahtina, think... sicky books.


I dunno the English title... oh, found it! Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind. No, don't bother clicking on it, it's not a hyperlink, don't u know you're supposed to underline titles? Anyway,  I really liked this one, my roommate? Meeeeh, not so much.


Another sicky one I really liked was Requiem for a Dream by Hubert Selby Jr. It'll suck if you've seen the movie though. I really liked the movie, but I only saw it because I read the book first and I was really curious about how they adapted the screenplay.


Have you read Marquis de Sade? He can be sort of enjoyable. Well, ok, no, not really but you'll have a hard time putting the book down. Or maybe that was just me.


There was a sick, sick book that I really enjoyed. It was in Spanish though: El necrófilo - Gabrielle Wittkop. I doubt you'll find it in English though.


Oooooor, if you want something enjoyable and very, very well written (beautifully written actually) you can always read Lolita - Nabokov.


Hmmmmm... murderers, drug addicts, sado-masochists, necrophiliacs, pedophiles? What the hell is wrong with me?

Well Ms. Tanga?  What you think?  I say we get the book and we can discuss as only you and I can discuss things. hehehe...


As for A Fine Balance, it is a really good book.  It's just hard to get through sometimes.  However, any book that gives you a quote like "Some people say Monkey-man does dirty, unnatural things with the monkeys.  I don't believe it.  But even if he does, so what?  We all need comfort, no?  Monkey, prostitute, or your own hand - what difference?", is grade A literature in my books.



Mz. Tanga says


LMAO... you can NEVER go wrong with a book that involves monkeys and the unnatural things that old lonely men do to them.

Have you read it?

Yes, I have. I've never seen it in any readers' lists. My niece recommended it and I just LOOOOVED it, more than anything because of the bonding female rituals. I could just imagine being inside the red tent. It's beautiful. You and Luna should read it (not together... it's not THAT kind of book... )

For you, I would highly recommend The Red Tent by Anita Diamant (such a beautiful book).


 


Amazon.com
The red tent is the place where women gathered during their cycles of birthing, menses, and even illness. Like the conversations and mysteries held within this feminine tent, this sweeping piece of fiction offers an insider's look at the daily life of a biblical sorority of mothers and wives and their one and only daughter, Dinah. Told in the voice of Jacob's daughter Dinah (who only received a glimpse of recognition in the Book of Genesis), we are privy to the fascinating feminine characters who bled within the red tent. In a confiding and poetic voice, Dinah whispers stories of her four mothers, Rachel, Leah, Zilpah, and Bilhah--all wives to Jacob, and each one embodying unique feminine traits. As she reveals these sensual and emotionally charged stories we learn of birthing miracles, slaves, artisans, household gods, and sisterhood secrets. Eventually Dinah delves into her own saga of betrayals, grief, and a call to midwifery.


"Like any sisters who live together and share a husband, my mother and aunties spun a sticky web of loyalties and grudges," Anita Diamant writes in the voice of Dinah. "They traded secrets like bracelets, and these were handed down to me the only surviving girl. They told me things I was too young to hear. They held my face between their hands and made me swear to remember." Remembering women's earthy stories and passionate history is indeed the theme of this magnificent book. In fact, it's been said that The Red Tent is what the Bible might have been had it been written by God's daughters, instead of her sons. --Gail Hudson

From Library Journal
Skillfully interweaving biblical tales with events and characters of her own invention, Diamant's (Living a Jewish Life, HarperCollins, 1991) sweeping first novel re-creates the life of Dinah, daughter of Leah and Jacob, from her birth and happy childhood in Mesopotamia through her years in Canaan and death in Egypt. When Dinah reaches puberty and enters the Red Tent (the place women visit to give birth or have their monthly periods), her mother and Jacob's three other wives initiate her into the religious and sexual practices of the tribe. Diamant sympathetically describes Dinah's doomed relationship with Shalem, son of a ruler of Shechem, and his brutal death at the hands of her brothers. Following the events in Canaan, a pregnant Dinah travels to Egypt, where she becomes a noted midwife. Diamant has written a thoroughly enjoyable and illuminating portrait of a fascinating woman and the life she might have lived. Recommended for all public libraries.
