book thrall - Kushiel's Dart

[juldea]

I find it interesting that londo seems not to understand book thrall.

This weekend is gaming weekend, and I hopped on a train this afternoon to come to Worcester and game. Anticipating a boring train ride and having knit for several hours the previous night, I grabbed a book from my pile of books lent to me. Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey, lent to me from my half-landlord, friend, and downstairs neighbor.

I have not yet played a game at gaming weekend. Heh. londo has asked me why I came to gaming weekend, if I'm not gaming. I intended to! But...


book!!

I also bowed out early tonight from exhaustion, but in reality who knows how many more hours I'll stay up reading in bed. Mmmmm, book.

*nod* It doesn't sound stupid. I admit I was a little curious upon hearing that you had read it, wondering how you had taken the religious ... views, histories, and discussions in the book. The Yeshuites are the closest things to Christians they have, and while they are not treated harshly they are certainly not meant to be praised as the ones with the Truth.

That, and the graphic erotica. Not even that, really - the nature of the graphic erotica. Even if you suppose that Phedre really is 'magical' in some way such that pain=>pleasure, it's still pretty weird to read and try to comprehend.

Further discussion on that topic, however, is NOT for a public LJ post. *grin*
