Ok, I'm one of those women that is hard to please. I still like an actual book, not a kindle which makes no sense as I am always reading at least 7 books. The reason I am always reading 7 books is that I get bored so easily with all these books they tell me are best sellers. A best seller should be based on how many people actually finished the book not how many bought it and left it sitting on a nightstand until it was covered with dust at which time it was wiped off and dropped off in one of those cute little book houses in your neighborhood that you put worthless books that you can't finish into so you don't have to stare at them any longer on your nightstand. How kind of me to share a bad book with someone else. I justify it by thinking of the money I saved them and I anticipate how long it will be before the book is back in the little house. If it takes a long time and returns, then I guess it endured the same fate it had on my nightstand. Anyways just like this tangent I enjoyed the many Character tangents Ms. Babitz went on. Describing a character or situation. I loved the neurotic character of Jacaranda and enjoyed every last word of this book. I didn't really like the ending but I guess it was fitting. And as far as the title Sex and Rage I was disappointed that there was very little sex in the book which left me in a bit of a rage. Maybe that was the point? Fun book that will be read again and never end up in the little book house as I have too many people I'd love to share it with.
