What Are You Reading??

Nancy Friday "researched" into people's (sexual) fantasies, then published them, with an erudite (NOT) commentary, to show that she was a serios researcher, rather than just a smut-monger.

Men in Love
My Secret Garden
Women on Top
Forbidden Flowers

Have fun!!

I have some war-ies if you want to borrow.

Meh.  Think I'll just buy a coupla DVDs.

Band of Brothers. Not that I watch that sort of thing. The young ones likes it.

I'm still turning over every sweet page by sweet page of Anna Karenina. Thank God the fridge has gone on the blink or I'd be sucked into the romance and danger of it all.

Just finished Patricia Cornwall's "Predator".  Not her best, but good for a chilly afternoon.

The Amber Spyglass.

After having spent months putting down then picking up again, Northern Lights (Golden Compass), I got through the Subtle Knife in about two days, and am now on the finale.

 

I found Pullman terribly disappointing. Amber Spyglass was good, Subtle Knife was ok and the last one was just plain odd and not good. Only reason I finished it was that once you start reading a book, you should finish it.

76 papers on "Using one of Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions and one of the 4 foundations of culture analyse the impact on Chinese and one other culture".

26 papers on "Using two of the methods of literary analysis (Feminist, Reader, Formalist, Marxist, Psychoanalytical etc) compare the readings of a novel, short story or poem of your choice."

Riveting reading.

I just started readin "Soul Mountain" this morning!

So far so good, it's definitely not an over-prosed book and the writing is quite pleasant.

Anna Karenina and The Good Earth and Mythology.. or rather I was. I lost my glasses again this week and the books have to wait until I get to the optometrist's this afternoon.

Just read 'Lust, Caution' by Eileen Chang.

Gotta say i was a bit disappointed after all the hype about the movie - which i haven't seen yet, but it's just a short story with a collection of others. I haven't finished them all yet, not sure i will.

Bad luck Acjade 

The only reason I don't lose my glasses any more is I keep them on a chain around my neck.  I only need them for distance so I would take them off in the bank or similar places, lay them down and then leave.  Now, they hang from my neck when I don't need them.  The only problem I have is finding decent chains in China.   

I read the first 30 pages of Love In the Time of Cholera.  Awesome!  And way easier than 100 Years of Solitude, which I'm still trudging through.

I liked 100 Years of Solitude...

I read the first 30 pages of Love In the Time of Cholera. 

Can you give me some more detail on that. It rings a big bell but the peels fade off.
