Raja Ravi Varma, The Goddess Saraswathi, 1896
(December 17, 2015) I loved this book as much as or more than her first one… just so great.I laughed out loud so much.
Pages 47-48: laughed out loud then choked up within the space of a half-page:
One very gratifying compliment I sometimes hear is that women want to be my best friend. This endlessly amuses my actual best friend, Jocelyn, because in her estimation I’m “a good friend, but not that great”
... And all that stuff I do to “appear” better has actually made me a better person. I wish I had always acted like I was a little bit famous.
P. 116:
It was interesting that on p. 123 she alluded to Catcher in the Rye, because she does sound exactly like Holden Caulfield sometimes … and she is making fun of her own pretentiousness … but, in fact, she does have the kind of wisdom you find in literary works.
The Emmy announcements take place at 5:30 a.m., Pacific Standard Time, because when we are finding out the top six contenders for best miniseries, movie, or dramatic special, it’s important that the whole nation watch as one.So many lines like that throughout … this is her comedic specialty.
