(Because uber-long post gets a two-part response.) :D
God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater is my favorite Vonnegut book for a whole lot of reasons. But the main character is totally one.
I am intrigued. Mainly because I'm kind of a Vonnegut!anarchist myself, what with Welcome to the Monkey House being my favorite Vonnegut, ("All the King's Horses," my favorite piece within.) I've always gotten the raised eyebrow for choosing that book as my fave. ;)
Elvira, from Mozart's Don Giovanni . . . I can't help admiring someone as stubborn as her
*delivers standing ovation* *pulls out Don Giovanni CDs to have a listen at that trio* (Don't shoot, but my utter favorite is the Giovanni/Zerlina duo from Act One.) :D
Aragorn and Arwen WHO? Faramir and Eowyn were the real deal!
I must come to Italy and hug you just for that sentence alone. &hearts
all of these supposedly emancipated woman who are oh so modern and oh so interesting always, ALWAYS, have an epiphany on the second to last chapter when they're like OMG I'M SO IN LOVE WITH THE GUY WHO'S BEEN OGLING ME SINCE PAGE TEN.
. . . and then Miss Emancipation immediately FALLS AT HIS FEET. Dear God, this. THIS.
Okay, if I quoted everything I loved about your Eddie Dean commentary, I'd be copy-pasting the whole thing. So I'll just say this: That is the most beautiful love letter to a fictional character that I've ever read. And you're really making me want to re-read those books. &hearts
. . . and this: why the heck should I want a Mr. Darcy when I can want an Eddie Dean?
*applause*
(I gave you "E" because of Eddie Dean. The "Emma" section was a delightful bonus of snark.) ;)
