At the request of the author, I'm adjusting my review to better reflect the circumstances surrounding his book. Actually, I've stopped caring, so I'll just delete my review because I have a history of bending to the will of French men. Damn accent ge...more |

Two at the very most.
After three I'm under the table,
after four I'm under my host.”

“I haven't any right to criticize books, and I don't do it except when I hate them. I often want to criticize Jane Austen, but her books madden me so that I can't conceal my frenzy from the reader; and therefore I have to stop every time I begin. Every time I read Pride and Prejudice I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone.”

“Woman wants monogamy;
Man delights in novelty.
Love is woman's moon and sun;
Man has other forms of fun.
Woman lives but in her lord;
Count to ten, and man is bored.
With this the gist and sum of it,
What earthly good can come of it?”
― Dorothy Parker
