“Humans are the only animal that blushes, laughs, has religion, wages war, and kisses with lips. So in a way, the more you kiss with lips, the more human you are.” — Jonathan Safran Foer “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close”
“The choices available were all imperfect. If you chose to be with someone, you often wanted to be alone. If you chose to be alone, you often felt the unbearable need for another body - not necessarily for sex, but just to rub your foot, to sit across the table, to drop his things around the room in a way that was maddening but still served as a reminder that he was there.” — The Position by Meg Wolitzer
And by the midafternoon he was again overcome with the desire to be somewhere else, someone else, someone else somewhere else. I am not sad.
― Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything is Illuminated

I want to take all my words for 50 shades of grey back! I’m half the book and it’s terrible. Ana is stupid girl with no brain and self esteem who doesn’t know anything about relationships, any kind of relationship. She’s in love with that jerk and total prick Christian who uses that to make her do thing she doesn’t really want to or at least she doesn’t know if she wants to which makes me go back to her - she’s the worst example for the young girls who read the books.
He wants to abuse you and you’re ok with that just because you’re horny and he’s sexy and rich and has the looks?!? It’s not a real relationship, it never has to be like this. If you don’t feel secure doing it just don’t do it and if he still insist or says he’s leaving you tell him to fuck off.
I’m not sure I’m able to read the rest of the book. I imagine my little sister reading it and thinking to herself that’s ok to have that kind of “relationship” with someone… I’m full of rage.
Though I’m not very much experienced I clearly see it’s a total bullshit with it’s ridiculous plot, unreal and stupid characters, utterly ridiculous sex scenes and the poorly writing or another desperate housewife who dreams to be a good author.
Rant over. Sorry for the harsh words and all my swearing, it’s not my style but this book is driving me crazy in a very very bad way.
I’m reading Fifty Shades of Grey and I understand why it’s so popular. It may be poorly written and the characters are just ridiculously unreal (or at least Mr Christian Grey) BUT it is a real women fantasy - the perfect man who can be nice and bad the same time. I’m not even in the middle of the book so I can’t say much more than that. Well, I expect they’re falling in love and have really pervy sex scenes (or at least I hope so).
‘In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.’
Started reading it yesterday and I may say it’s brilliant
“Where are we going?” I asked
“I don’t know,” he said. “Just driving.”
“But this road doesn’t go anywhere,” I told him.
“That doesn’t matter.”
“What does?” I asked, after a little while.
“Just that we’re on it, dude,” he said.” — Bret Easton Ellis, Less Than Zero
“Got you. You’re mine now. For the rest of the day, week, month, year, life. Have you guessed who I am? Sometimes I think you have. Sometimes when you’re standing in a crowd I feel those sultry, dark eyes of yours stop on me. Are you too afraid to come up to me and let me know how you feel? I want to moan and writhe with you and I want to go up to you and kiss your mouth and pull you to me and say “I love you I love you I love you” while stripping. I want you so bad it stings. I want to kill the ugly girls that you’re always with. Do you really like those boring, naive, coy, calculating girls or is it just for sex? The seeds of love have taken hold, and if we won’t burn together, I’ll burn alone.” — Bret Easton Ellis, The Rules of Attraction
“I believe there are monsters born in the world to human parents… . The
face and body may be perfect, but if a twisted gene or a malformed egg can
produce physical monsters, may not the same process produce a malformed soul?” — John Steinbeck, East of Eden
Roughly translated as I long for you. It’s a book of love letters written by famous Bulgarians.
I want that book so badly! However, I won’t buy it. I want someone to give it to me as a present. Weird, huh?
