Aug. 20th, 2005 09:00 amSo for the last week I've been reading a few chapters per evening of The Warrior's Heart by Writestuff. It's really *really* long, and contains some stuff that on the surface, it seems like this would be a bad week to read, but actually wasn't.
Last night I got to the chapter in "Trials & Errors" titled "The Sweet Science of Bruising" and it left me reeling. So thought-provoking, so much I agree with there, AND so much I disagree with. (In the lesson's discussions, of course, not the lesson itself.)
Excerpt:
There are shadowy places in all of us, places that hold our guilt, our shame, our cruelty, our anger, our self-loathing, our pain. [...] Coupled with the pain of our bodies, the hurts we hold inside or inflict on ourselves can undo us more easily than any other tool.
Just wondered if anyone else who had read it was interested in talking about it.
WARNING for anyone this intrigues enough to read it: While I think it's brilliant and I generally stay away from non-con, this is very definitely non-con. And you really must read the whole series in order for the characters and what they talk about to make any sense whatsoever. Other than that, go, read. :)
Oh, and if anyone comments, I assume the comments/discussions will be full of spoilers, so don't read until you've read that chapter.
And no - I haven't read the chapters after that one yet, so please don't spoil me with those either. ;)
