i recently read my sister's keeper by her as well, chey. another great book that raises some seriously interesting questions. the end left me devastated.

i just finished my secret garden this morning. written by nancy friday, it's the first book written by a woman to compile and explore the realm of female sexual fantasy. i enjoyed some of it. a bit antiquated and slightly exclusive, it even had some undertones of racism. but considering when it was first written, it does a good job of exploring sexual fantasy without casting judgment. some of the women's stories broke my heart and others shocked, but it was nevertheless fascinating and i could literally feel how much empowerment and relief some of these women felt just by being able to write down some of their most private thoughts and know that they aren't "freaks." i have two more by her on stand-by (forbidden flowers and women on top).
