I ravish books...must have read literally thousands. I have sometimes more than 3 books going at the same time, even so, I would not call myself an informed reader.Why?Because I am not discerning enough.I cannot lambast a writer for the subjects he or she chooses, I do not pick holes in their syntax or deride the immaturity of prose and worst of all, I implicitly believe in the written word.For example I never think a character to be implausible.It exists on paper,ergo the type must exist in the real world too. I never pause to question the plausibility of actions purported to be taken by any character in any book even if it is a fire breathing dragon carrying off a princess to safety instead of swallowing her up whole.
Anyhow, I am reading about the travails of a diplomat's wife at the moment.This is autobiographical so I need not revile myself for being so trusting and happy by being assured that feelings of inadequacy, loneliness and of being a pariah amongst your fellow human beings also extend to diplomats'wives.It constantly surprises me that being overwhelmed by similar emotions does not teach us humans the futility of war amongst ourselves for religion or ideology.The passions of the heart do not discriminate amongst religions and the more religions talk about peace the more they promote discord.
To end here is an aside.My cousin R got her hair straightened and my cousin S lambasted her for going in for the soulless,individuality less look.Is he an exception or is it simply a conspiracy of the males to make the females remain always hungry for their approbation by leching at all the girls who sport this so called soulless but well polished,perfectly matched look that make them seem to have come straight out of a very expensive parlour all the time?Dont straight hair
always make curly hair look slobby?
