I wanted to hear more about your book. And Foucault, literary theory and feminist literary theory. But I remembered all of that after I got home. Next time…

I hated that book too.Such long, pointless conversations! So much authorial self-indulgence. So many loose ends and missed opportunities. Bah.–Susan

I couldn’t quite tell from your posting…And may I add, I would love a post about what books you think should be read. But you might have to just give us a list and not ALL the reasons why. Unless of course the list is only two books long then please do give us all the reasons why as well.

Nor does it mean that I won’t feel free to discuss it with anyone else in whatever format is readily available. If you’d like to waste your valuable time re-reading that drivel, searching in vain for elusive meaning that Isn’t Even There, that’s fine with me. You have your music degree: that can be your excuse.By the way, which one of us declared silence on that topic? I don’t remember, but I’m sure it was a good idea.I have a feeling it was you.

I am laughing! (And no, I don’t want to talk about that book!)
