    Song of Solomon completely changed the way I read and inspired me to furiously devour everything she and Faulkner wrote. I can honestly say she is my teacher is the most rudimentary and amazing way.

    I'd kill to get into a class taught by her. Then I'm afraid I'd spend the whole semester pissing my pants with fear but oh, it would be worth it.

    I absolutely love her essays but if it reads anything like Beloved you can gouge my eyes first.

    @Final: Or like Paradise for that matter.


    That book infuriated me by how incomprehensible the ending was.

    @missbitchy:
    You mean Paradise, right? Because I liked Beloved, myself. But Paradise? Nosiree...I have a bone to pick with that book:


    I liked pretty much everything about it until the last few pages. I spent 2 weeks reading and re-reading that book and was pissed off when I did't understand the outcome. The ending was so random and weird to me. If I recall correctly, wasn't the ending like a poem or something?


    I guess the book moves in a circular way because you know from the beginning that the women in the house were being killed, but still...the ending was just a bit too cryptic for me. As I recall, I think I threw the book across the room when I was done then laid on my bed and sulked because I just didn't get it. Still, it was very beautifully written.


    Oh, and thanks for lookin at my junk...it's always appreciated :)

    @missbitchy: For me, it's not a dislike, it's just a tough read. Her writing is dense. When I read, I just want to read, ya know?


    It's a phenomenal book... just hard to get thru (for me).

    It's a sad thing that she's right about this amazing moment in history raising old divisions. I'm afraid that old prejudices may never truly die, but I hope I am wrong.

    21st century: where people are killed in the mindless pursuit of crap and where century old wounds begin to heal, maybe just a tiny bit but enough to keep trying

    I want to meet Toni Morrison. Her writing moves me in a way no other author is able to because she writes about the American experience. She really pulls apart our country like no other.
