We are considering having my son go as John Denver. He has the same face-shape and the same hair. All we need is fake pair of glasses, a little guitar, and a t-shirt that says "thank God, I am a country-boy". Of course, he is fifteen months and has no say in the matter....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767816.post-1129951135216427722005-10-21T23:18:00.000-04:002005-10-21T23:18:00.000-04:00Oh, thank you, Patricia, for the wonderful recomme...Oh, thank you, Patricia, for the wonderful recommendations. That was much easier than plodding through a thousand blogrolls.<BR/><BR/>Raehan, Martha: I have to admit I prefer other Lessing novels over The Golden Notebook. It was even a bit of a letdown after all the buildup I'd created within myself. However: it has a really interesting structure; I have a sense of why it's considered an "important" (and feminist) novel; and I read it at exactly the right time in my life — not that it's greatly affected my life from this point forward, but it's helped me frame the woman I've been till now. And that's why writing about it is hard — it's not about the book, so much as reconciling my past and present.

And a butterfly. But I have a feeling our butterfly is going to change her mind once her suit has been lovingly completed.<BR/><BR/>I read The Golden Notebook so many years ago I can barely remember it. I went through a big Doris Lessing phase in my early 20's, where I read most of her stuff. But I know I was too young to get what The Golden Notebook was about. You may inspire me to reread it- I would be interested to hear what you have to say about it when you gather your thoughts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767816.post-1129899427791888322005-10-21T08:57:00.000-04:002005-10-21T08:57:00.000-04:00After careful and in-depth quizzing it turns out s...After careful and in-depth quizzing it turns out she wants to be Sorceror's Apprentice Mickey Mouse, not regular Mickey Mouse.
