Molly “The point is oughtnt they to be more intelligent than we were Anna?”
Pg 427-428 quote ⬇️

#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD APRIL 📔
Everyone welcome!
WAAAAAY too early to talk about spring here, we really don‘t have much of one- mid April to mid June typically. Nothing yet for spring sightings. Although we aren't buried in snow like usual. I don't usually plant til after May 15. We have snow through April in "normal" years. I do long to garden. It‘s so short that everything is “green" here. Still in the 20sF here at night 40s F in daytime. Which is a heatwave for March! The cards are my spring.
On we read!!!

Quote from pg 343 in my book seems to sum up this portion of reading.
“The point as it seems to me that my mind is a mass of totally contradictory attitudes about everything”
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD
1954
“The housewives disease”
The relationship with Michael & it ENDS
Also, all these men. Not a good one in the bunch.
Anna‘s social party work
Anna‘s refusal to write book two or inability
For a feminist novel this sure is I need a man centered…
Anna resting on her laurels- too much time to think
Anna obsessing over her period et all
Anna worried about motherhood
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD
The Shadow of the Third
Ella to Paris
The “I definitely do not want to be married” quote the hypocrite?
Ella & Cy
Interesting her ideas of what is sex and intimacy ..
