In which I confess to being unable to finish a book.

Upon further reflection, I don't think I can make it through even one of the Sheri Tepper books that saffronhare loaned me, let alone both. The concentrated misanthropy is making me feel sort of ill and strange in the head. I might be able to finish The Gate to Women's Country in small doses, but unless there's considerably less gender-based nastiness in Gibbon's Decline and Fall I'm not sure I'm even going to be able to pick it up.

I've taken refuge in Lord of the Rings. Not many women therein, true, but those that are there are generally treated like worthwhile human (or whatever) beings.

Just another version of my disaffection for gender roles and gender politics. Pass by.

Apropos of nothing

Why does everything have to be chocolate?

And another thing. I just got spam email that suggested that Viagra would make a great gift. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think I buy that. I'm guessing that Viagra makes about as good a gift as a Weight Watchers membership, in fact.

Some call me...Tim.

You are the Scottish enchanter Tim. You are an
imposing character with great magic and an
affinity for blowing things up.
