verity83BOOK FIFTEEN: Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus
BOOK SIXTEEN: The Borrowers
BOOK SEVENTEEN: The Borrowers Afield
I've already written about Mars/Venus. I must say I found it a very useful book with a lot of very practical and very true information, written by a man who clearly has studied this field thoroughly and has his own experience to go by as to how well his ideas work in day-to-day life. It definitely helped me to understand more about how I can better understand my husband and relate to him and communicate with him in a non-pushy, non-demanding way. It also helped me to better comprehend what's going on with me as a woman. His description of caves for men is priceless; his part about women's wells is likewise accurate.
As for "The Borrowers", it has been such a long time since I've read them that there was much I had forgotten. I'm really enjoying revisiting their world.
I remember as a child feeling a strange feeling reading about the Borrowers. It was not exactly a creepy feeling or a scary feeling, the kind that would make me have bad dreams or be scared to sleep in the dark. It was more an uneasy feeling, and I really don't know why because I loved the books so much there was no reason that they should make me scared.
I think part of this was something to do with the human parts of the story at the beginning of each book. It didn't set well and was sometimes just outright boring. Once the Clocks came back to the forefront, I always felt better.
Okay. Caught up with that.
