My husband cannot understand why I find this so fascinating from a sociological standpoint. It doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. I have sister's and a best friend I love like a sister, I'm not cool with sharing my husband with any of them. Still, I do find it intriguing the way they manage the dynamic of 4 wives and gaggles of children etc.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I can't read about that stuff. I don't find it intriguing, just sad.

[[deleted user]]

Why should an alternative lifestyle be sad, if they're happy, LG?

I mean, I cringe at the idea for myself, sure. But, if they're happy? It's their life after all.

Does he think your sisters are hot?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Amelia, I don't buy it that everyone in that situation is happy.

Me neither. I have known several people who grew up in families where their father had more than one wife and there was a lot of tension in all of them.

Who is happy in any situation all the time. You're talking about an awful lot of people for them to all be happy all the time. Still, the Browns seem amazingly functional and for the most part happy. They have issues, but they seem to work them out (hence the sociological interest to me). I'd say they're a damn site less dysfunctional than the "normal" family I grew up in!

(Phil, I have no idea, I've never asked him. He certainly seems to only have eyes for me, but I suppose there's always the chance.)

Oh well, Goodreads ate my comment.

The Goodreads monster must be very hungry because it ate several of my comments.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

All of my opinions about polygamy, gone in an instant!

[Sally, la reina]

Goodreads is owned by the Mormons. It is a subsidiary of Pepsi Co.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

That explains much.

Can we rename this group CLEAN READS ?

[Sally, la reina]

FilthyReads.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Skanky Whores A-Reading.

[Sally, la reina]

Or CedarLanes. (an anagram of clean reads).

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Or Mittens Romney's Gals (an anagram of Skanky Whores A-Reading).

[Félix]

Skanks.

Am I being made fun of, but didn't get the joke?

[Phil]

Are you the polygamist mormon who has been deleting LG's comments?

i am going to go out on a limb here and say NO YOU ARE NOT.

that last phrase was in SKANK FONT.

[[deleted user]]

@Phil, nope.

@Mark, I have no idea what that means (skank font), but thanks! I was starting to get confused as to where the conversation was headed and was quite sure I was missing something. Apparently while I was gone there has been a SKANK related development of which I am ignorant...

[mark]

Yet another thread becomes incomprehensible to me.

Don't fight it Cyril. Relax and go with flow.

Take that Goodreads!

[Cheri]

I started A Free Life by Ha Jin.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Decided to have a bit of fun reading Fifty Shades of Garbage - Allie Beck. See if this is any fun lol x



There she sat, the coffee cup half full and likely cold, gripping that damn book again. Joe had come home from work for three days in a row now this week to find Marcia sitting on the couch, legs curled under her, the dim light of the end table lamp casting a glow on her enthralled form, reading a book with a necktie on it.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finished Fifty Shades of Garbage - Allie Beck. In my opinion, was funny when you saw some parts like Fifty Shades of Grey but, near the end was boring.

[[deleted user]]

[Fiona (Titch)]

Couldn't get into This Devil's Dice - Jackson Spence. So I decided to read my dad's friend's 2 books which are Three's Company & Mid Life Crisis - William Mwendwa.

Reminds me of The Ditches of Edison County which I bought a bunch of and gave to everyone who liked The Bridges of Madison County. 'Ditches' was better.

I am trudging through After the Ice: A Global Human History 20,000-5000 BC

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I should be reading a book about ice right now.

Over the past couple of days I have read and finished Mid Life Crisis - William Mwendwa and Three's Company - William Mwendwa. Now I am reading Taken - Charlotte Abel.

[Sally, la reina]

Yay barb! My favorite book of the year!

[Cheri]

The Beak of the Finch: A Story of Evolution in Our Time

[mark]

reading Gemini by Michel Tournier. very interesting. although the GR summary sorta cheapens it, narrows its scope. there is a lot going on in this book and much of it has nothing to do with twins.
