Franz Kafka said, “we ought to read only books that bite and sting us.” What’s the last thing you read that bit and stung you?
I finally finished The Red Tent over my holiday season. It isn't much of a nail biting kind of book, but I did enjoy it. I read one part especially, though, that did sting and sent me crying as I neared the end of the book. The woman, whom the book is about, spends a great deal describing her coming of age into womanhood, and it took my breath away when, in a sentence, she had realized she wouldn't be able to have children. I've already done my blogging on my baby envy, so it hit home.
I can’t remember the last time a read a book that bites but I read a couple of blog posts and news that moved me with so much emotions. Great post!
Awesome! I’d love to check them out as well.
