My God The Emperor's Children bored the hell out of me - pointlessly! I've said in my review that it made 9/11 seem anti-climatic. I have no desire to read anything else she has to write. Just seeing her picture makes my skin crawl thinking about that experience. I should probably seek out a good therapist because after 5 and a half years I should be letting this go. While an author's reproductive organs play no role in any of this, I would like to say for the record that if she were a man, I would be saying the exact same thing right now.Jennifer Connerhttp://twitter.com/LitHousewifenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078315941472495277.post-37012061168472206042013-05-07T08:49:11.828-07:002013-05-07T08:49:11.828-07:00re: the joke.

How do you get a flight attendant in the cockpit? Grease up the cockpit door and put a Twinkie on the console. But since Twinkies don't exist anymore, I suppose that is irrelevant now.....bah.readersrespitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078315941472495277.post-62257239995895360212013-05-07T05:17:24.034-07:002013-05-07T05:17:24.034-07:00And the answer to her question is No, I would not ...And the answer to her question is No, I would not want to be friends with Humbert Humbert. I won't even watch the movie, and have always hated James Mason as a result of that movie. But I digress, because that is clearly not her point. And the joke about Stage Coach drivers: don't they sit behind AND in front of assholes? I would think, unless of course the coach is empty.... But that's not YOUR point either. So the point of this comment is that one probably needs a joke about commenters who make pointless comments that are not to the point.... And also: you go girl!
