I do not have the vocabulary to adequately describe how deeply sensual Jeanette Winterson's Written on the Body is. Every page is a ripe fruit, rich, ready to burst. The love in those pages bleaches the world of its colour. Only in books, they say. Only in books. In Anne Fadiman's Ex Libris, she talks about the joy of reading aloud with your partner in bed. Maybe the Robert Fagle Iliad (did she get the Penguin Classics Deluxe edition?) is more appropriate for more mature relationships. Can I start with flames, obsession and Written on the Body?

A complicated love story exaggerated with twists of unnecessary detailing bound together to satisfy a lonely lover looking for a shoulder to match his own. The book surely shows Marquez's style but in my opinion, the story could do well with some fine tuning.

This book has everything!! romance, war, truimph of the human spirit, ( my personal fav), beautiful phrases that inspire your mind, history of civil war, America's civl war, what's not to like? it is about overcoming when you really just want to lay down and QUIT.
