I gathered from it that you are sensitive, and that you have an appreciation of books, family and animals.<br />I envy you having read many of the classics. I've read a few, but now with children to raise and educate, I tend to read "easier" books. I can see myself in a mobile home, reading and writing, when the kids are all in college. Sounds like a nice life. :)Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180243708565855383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941930385963521365.post-26281659875518500412009-11-24T16:17:51.334+00:002009-11-24T16:17:51.334+00:00Dear Ken, Concerning 'Rape a love story' ....Dear Ken, Concerning 'Rape a love story' ... on the contrary, if a book is worth reading then it does not matter what your gender is and you should not shy away from books just because you might perceive them as being 'women's books'. It is a book about a particular, very specific aspect of human experience but the reactions of the male characters are as important to the book as the victim's.<br />with best wishes Martinemartinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260048849955077472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941930385963521365.post-18658770186685637382009-11-24T16:17:00.357+00:002009-11-24T16:17:00.357+00:00I couldn't listen to the video, Ken.

But I don't usually cry when I read... at least I didn't think I did. Until the other day, when reading an emotive last chapter was almost impossible. As for men crying, I believe they should. They don't have to prove anything to anyone. And think of the stress relief that tears bring.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099030819314552958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941930385963521365.post-25699763056827051002009-11-24T15:30:38.225+00:002009-11-24T15:30:38.225+00:00thanks for dropping by so i could find you...why i...thanks for dropping by so i could find you...why is there such a stigma to men crying...i am moved by seeing people that are hurting, or lacking basic necessities or feel they have no way out of their present circumstances...<br /><br />and i love of mice and men....movies never do them justice...happy thanksgiving!Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.com
