To coin a phrase from Peder -- must reread... OK give me a break what page is the poster bit on or do I need to rifle through the book and wade through post-its and highlights and underscores - ah yes and let's not forget my scribbled snorts of condemnation.:rolleyes:

To know is to love;) Besides, VNs writing is the seduction, not the topic so nothing to be ashamed of - his writing is sheer poetry. And he holds the power to provoke thought and debate. Is there any hope for us mere mortals, she whispers as she licks crumbs off fingers. Ah, more poetry - a...

Mmm, I'm still not convinced Ms P. I just can't help thinking that Lo loved Quilty because he was like a 'true' father figure with her. Although I doubted his reasons from the get go. Oh if only I could have my slice of cake and eat it too:)

Question oh wise one - did she have a sexual relationship with Quilty? Do we know for sure or was it just alluded to? :confused:

Power behind the throne indeed. Only now we can stand up and do it for ourselves - we've come out of said closet. Unfortunately now we are in the full glare of the spotlight and there are those that hog it for all the wrong reasons. As for our Lolita... What great teachers she had. And...

May be it's pay-back time for those years of men having the first and last say. Ah, the smell of freedom, the power of movement without restriction, girl power:p

Ms P, manipulative seems a harsh word to use. I'd like to think of Lo as taking advantage of a bad situation and making the best of what life threw at her. Manipulative just sounds too devious. She had a mother who 'simply hated her daughter'. And two men (I refuse to count Charles as...

Bah humbug you say actually the wobble is mainly caused by the Sun, Moon, and the larger planets, which apply a torque to the Earth. Other effects are caused by the movement of the Earth's crust and by air mass movement. Back to subject at hand.... OK, now I'm truly lost she says fumbling...

Hey, you may all laugh but the Earth does in fact wobble - truthfully:p

Here I sit, pondering in the stillness of life.... Just didn't want ya to think I was lurking without intent - actually as I don't have said literary marvels am just quietly taking it all in.:cool:

OK, on a more serious note, I'm off to read latest acquisition - Reading Lo in Tehran. Managed a quick peak this morning after finishing Ms C's novel. Enjoy the writing style so far - descriptive, which is always a big hit with moi. And have lots of sticky post-its quietly waiting in the...

Oops, Ms Pontalba, come baackkkk, hello hello. Probably having a fridge raid or better yet cookie crumble moment. Ooh, if I follow the trail of crumbs....:D

Ahah, the mystery to double post has been solved as it nearly happened again:mad: Blame it on TPCBD as it popped up just after I hit the submit button. And Ms P, go ahead laugh at my expense. If I'm not sitting under lonely spotlight in the twilight zone..... Just kidding she quickly adds...

Scratching head over double post - it must be magic. It's a shame it wasn't something of great importance or depth:rolleyes: As for the fishing - well I did wink when I said it:p Actually got called to go and assist in picking out a sucker fish cos my in-laws have some greedy little...

Nah, just raiding the kitchen. Trouble is nothing took my fancy so I ended up eating chocolate instead:D And then family called me away to go fishing;)

Oops, lonely spotlight again:p I know, I cannot help myself. What can I say, I'm a gal with lots of time on my hands. Now, where was I, ah yes the pages of....

Hi StillILearn, actually doing a spot of light reading. Thought I'd give the old grey matter a reprieve after reading Lolita;) Currently have nose between pages of Trace by Ms Cornwell. But our southern belle and fiesty Ms P, the word meister (sp?) Mr P and the gracious and well versed Ms...

Pontalba - Sorry me dearest, but strudel has been slurped with over a cup of java, she says licking her fingers. May be next time! And by the way, where are you then? Are you up yet:rolleyes: MMm too early. Must still be slumbering dreaming of HH no doubt - ouch she pinched me:eek: And...

Oh you guys:o No apologies needed. I have loved each and every posting on this amazing thread. Nobody has scared me off. I'm made of tuff stuff ya know. I get it from my mother's side - irish and redheaded to boot. She's all of 5 feet but she's one tough cookie. Cookie being an important...
