I quickly read this post the other day ..maybe even the other week but anyway.. I just loved your magical review of this book! Apart from that it made me really intrigued to read it (especially since you have rec´d this author before) but your love for it shines through and gives it life and suddenly is one of those books I have to find. *breathes* I have a strong feeling that I´m going to savour this book with my heart.
I talked with my sister about it - um TRIED talking with her.. who instead got all Lalalala!!Shut UP!!! ("don't destroy my Disney!image of fairytales") =/ Yep, well.. I find instead the whole historical context - with the aspect of religious tension of those times, very interesting per se, and then the "origin-of-myth".. or -fairytale (or even a different interpretation of a tale) very refreshing. So damnit.. I will check out the library.
There is never enough time for the really worthwhile things in life *groans* No shit!! Funny that, how there can actually be scarcity of Time. Who the fuck invented that thing????
Anyway.. hope you´ve had a nice refreshing weekend -->>not_spent doing any extra hours at work.. (the week after this post?)
