Fiction

I started another Terry Prachett but haven't really got into it. About the First Rule book the last few chapters are a bit troubling. There's a long session of what can only be describes as a dominatrix and victim. Later there is a vivid attempted rape scene.

I am really enjoying listening to Barbara Kingsolver read her book, Unsheltered. She has such a way with words. The chapters alternate between people living in a house in post Civil War N.J. and a family living in the same house in current times. The modern family consists of an ailing cantankerous grandfather, his son, daughter-in-law, their 2 grown children Zeke and Tig and Zeke's baby boy. Zeke is a capitalist Wall Street investor. Tig is the opposite end of the spectrum. They argue constantly. This line from Tig (aka Antigone) made me laugh enough to write it down.
"You have to be a whore licking the balls of the Wall Street bull!" to her brother. -somewhere in chapter 12
