I suspect I’d feel much as you did about this. I didn’t know it was in dialogue, which is yet another drawback for me. Perhaps my completist instincts will make me read it at some point, but I won’t feel too bad if I skip it.

Yeah, for sure I would be up for taking another look at Weight—I think that’s probably my favorite one.

A lot harder to write a favorable review than a critical or even middling one though. “Look at this beautiful sentence,” “Look at that beautiful sentence,” etc. (Okay, I will probably have more to say than that.)

Hmm… Oedipus was never one of my favorites either, so I would probably never pick this book up. However, I know you are a huge proponent of this series [I remember you talking about the Winterson one -- are you (could you be?) interested in writing about the ones you like... though I know your preferences and recommendations, your reviews are compelling in a different way].

Anyway, this review reminds me of everything that went wrong at my small liberal arts college — require that all students read Oedipus and Freud, and look what results….
Or you could always have a dance in response to Nietzsche.

Also, since its repeating in my head, “Catherine Tekakwitha, who are you?”
