Yay, first book post and January isn't done!

No worries. I haven't read it yet, though I've had a copy on my shelves for nearly a year.

This one sat on my shelf for at least two before I finally got to it.

*checks sex* Yep, I'm still a woman. The Throes tell me so. :P

I am right there with Amanda, including the Throes. :p

My sympathy on the Throes component! I don't really regret not reading the novel or seeing the movie, though. :)

My sympathy to you both on the throes as well; I've had a jeweled spork sort of week myself. And the no nicotine didn't help; I was a complete bitch on Monday.

i really enjoyed the book. i think the 2 best points for me were the imagery and the fact that it was written by a man. i am always impressed when i person can write from a perspective not their own, and still pull it off beautifully.
