What Members Thought
“Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.”

This was a beautifully written book, full of keen observations about humanity, including the many contradictions that can exist within people, the longing for love, the stifling entrapment of committed relationships, and the thrill of conquests and the forbidden. This is definitely going on my favorites shelf. Every page was thought provoking and it is a masterpiece.
