It's the every domestic situations in which Seth so masterfully exposes the challenges and politics of living in India at this time.

4.5 - One of the best non-fiction books I've ever read that aims to illuminate something through sociological methods. I lopped off half a star because much of the first half of the book can feel like one is reading a laundry list of opinions from wo...more
Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey
" I wanted to like this a lot more than I was able to. Abbey includes some beautifully poetic writing about the desert landscape at times and if that remained the central focus of the book, it would be fantastic; however, the other focus of Desert Soli... "

Petra X
Petra X added a status update: Petra Gets A Life (or some semblance of one for a few days anyway). Sailing down to Puerto Rico for a little hol with my son later this week. We're going SHOPPING (no good shopping where we live) and we're going to eat in some fancy restaurants, Japanese and Spanish. I hope I don't have time for too much writing this week!

China Miéville
“It had not been a long journey, but the memory of it filled her like an infection. She had felt tethered by time to the city behind her, so that the minutes stretched out taut as she moved away, and slowed the farther she got, dragging out her little voyage.”
China Miéville, The Scar

Catherynne M. Valente
“...what maiden knows how the world is skewed to spare any testing of her virtue?”
Catherynne M. Valente, In the Cities of Coin and Spice

Maile Meloy
“Children were experiments, and his had failed.”
Maile Meloy, Both Ways is the Only Way I Want It

Margaret Atwood
“Roughing it builds a boy's character, but only certain kinds of roughing it.”
Margaret Atwood, Wilderness Tips

Charles de Lint
“A name can't begin to encompass the sum of all her parts. But that's the magic of names, isn't it? That the complex, contradictory individuals we are can be called up complete and whole in another mind through the simple sorcery of a name.”
Charles de Lint, Dreams Underfoot
