What about Nada's story makes it appropriate for a coming-of-age ritual? Is it the idea of learning how men and women should…
"What a wonderful place!""Yeah, it was a friend of mine."""Men of Good fortune" is in someways, two guys just having one long conversation about a woman (death)." @danielOOOH. I like this idea.So, um, interesting thing. After 2.5 years of unemployment, I got a job yesterday. I start training on Tuesday (probably). Therefore, my time here will be more limited. I'll still be around in evenings (Pacific time), but less so during the day.Oh, one thing I meant to say. The first time I read the book, and Rose mentioned her upstairs neighbor demanding a six-foot stick with which to draw on the ceiling, my reaction was "Huh. That's an odd Chesterton reference to make." Imagine my deligh…I think one of the things that interests me most about this book is the destruction of false stories. Morpheus destroys the false Dreaming that Brute and Glob have built up, and with it, the lie that Hippolyta Hall has been living in after her husba…A note on Desire: Desire and Despair essentially say that Nada was part of a scheme of theirs, so that story can't predate Desire.Right-click on the the timestamp for the post you want to link to, and choose "copy link address."Not scones, but my favorite tea sandwiches!white breadcream cheesesliced cucumber (seriously, cucumber sandwiches are pretty much the best)raisin breadorange marmalad…Does the title "A Doll's House" (especially in the section where the title is specifically named by Rose Walker) have any connection to the relationship between authors/creators and characters/their creations?Sounds good to me!! YAY!I like the idea of trying to do video. It might be a small enough group that a Google Hangout would work.

Yay!I dunno if it counts, but I've been enjoying a packet of loose-leaf Lupicia tea, the "Carol" blend, which is strawberries, vanilla, and rose. Perfect for sipping while reading!…Matt: Oh, I'm sure he was an influence. But Gaiman doesn't pick existing characters randomly. I think he must have had a reason for picking Chesterton specifically, and I'd like to think about what that reason might be.*slight …A totally non-serious aside, but I have to tell this story.Several of my friends in college got into Sandman around the same time, a few years before I read it.
