 Hehehe just a bit of "light reading" then eh Vineyards

I was about to complain on how I am struggling to finish Orhan Pamuk´s book, Istanbul: memories and the city,  but seeing what Vineyards is reading I better not

I heard of military and political tactics but syndiotactic is new to me.

 .....and do you recommend it? 

No but there is a book which I keep reading for many years: The Attic Nights of Aulus Gellius.

Originally written in the first century by Gellius, it is full of ancient stories that would otherwise be lost.

nothing like a bit of east end violence to get you through the night!!

 She´s dead ´ard that Martina Cole!! 

I am reading a great and fascinating book that every woman should read!!! It´s called "The Cinderella Complex -- women´s hidden fear of independence" by Colette Dowling

The Cinderella Complex -- an interview with teh author, absolutely mind blowing!!!

 That´s an oldie, I read it when I was 19! From 1981, don´t you think things have changed in more than 25 years?

Trudy, we can calculate your age easily. Such a faux pas

yes, it´s an old book and sadly there are no new prints of it! but I was actually thinking the same thing -- ´did things change since she wrote this book´, and I must say NO. I think what she said in the book is still important to teach today. I think that massive numbers of women, most women that I know still are looking for a man to make them happy, make pursuit for a man the main theme of their lives and if they don´t have one, they don´t feel whole. I myself was raised on ´cinderella type of stories´ too, all walt disney movies feed little girls with messages that they need to be saved by a man, that that´s the ultimate happiness... this has not changed at all, and so this book´s message is not any less important then it was 25 years ago. I am in fact disappointed that women are not talking about their ´cinderella complexes´, that they don´t seem to notice it... that there´s not more dialogue and effort to un-learn it...
