Let me know how that is. I read a synopsis of it a few months ago and it sounded amazing. Read the synopsis right after watching Fido.

My mother is a big Jane Austin fan, so I bought her Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, but she doesn't like the look fo it, so I will steal it back later on. Also got her The Time Traveller's Wife, which I have heard both good and bad reviews of.

I am still reading War and Peace, and have just started Consider Phlebas by Iain Banks, which is part of the Culture series.

noooooo, you're going to want to snatch that one back too before she gets a chance to read it. like half of the six hundred pages are made up of very detailed love scenes, and the other half is just as equally blech-worthy. strange coming from a son, i think.

you should've trusted my bad review!

Because a woman who has given birth might not just yet be able to understand sex.

Well I had heard good and bad reviews. Yours being the bad, and my ex accounting for the good.

She says she likes it so far, and yes, I can handle my mum reading love scenes. Thanks for the heads up though, I wont ask her any details.


While on that topic, I was lent a copy of The Unknown Terrorist by a female workmate, and there is a very detailed part where a man ejeculates into the face of the female protaginist. I felt very uncomfortable when the workmate asked me what part I was up to, and I was up to THAT PART. Pretty lousy book btw.

I don't think i emphasized how disgusting it actually is well enough. the book isn't just like a novel that contains gratuitous sex, it's full-on erotic literature with a crummy underlying story, and that's why i think it makes a strange son-to-mother gift.

but uh, the basic idea is nice, give your mom a top bestseller that someone you were close to recommended.

edit: it's a sugarcoated sappy porno

Well the someone I was close to didn't recommend it to ME so I could read it and get off

WHAT HAVE I DONE?
