"What are you into?" ...
Go on. Answer him. Don't you know who you are?
Tolcher takes de Balzac's claim that every ejaculation is death to creative energy very seriously and gives us this horny journey of self inquiry while abstaining from orgasm.
5/5 high impact, fun and reflective read.

Fun fact! The French tuck was invented by me in 1794 because I had coffee on the corner of my shirt.

Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking
1. As I type, the Wikipedia page for Babygirl pronounces it to be an 'erotic thriller'. This movie wasn't a kinky movie. The erotic façade was a trap to lure you into the cinema so that you view the 10/10 nuanced discourse on feminism, masculinity and sexuality in the current age. Well played Reijn.

2. Kidman was brilliant in this as our highly strung, sexually repressed, over injected and over achieving lead, but a lot happens in terms of personal growth for her beaux too. It may even be where the real story is. Highly recommend.

#Stoner on love: "Now in his middle age he began to know that it was neither a state of grace nor an illusion; he saw it as a human act of becoming,a condition that was invented and modified moment by moment and day by day, by the will and the intelligence and the heart."

"In his forty-third year William Stoner learned what others, much younger, had learned before him: that the person one loves at first is not the person one loves at last, and that love is not an end but a process through which one person attempts to know another."

"Finally he realised that it had become a refuge, a haven, an excuse to come to the office at night. He read and studied, and at last came to find some comfort, some pleasure, and even a ghost of the old joy in that which he did, a learning toward no particular end."
