Quotes by Susan Taubes (?)

“That’s right; I didn’t care. I wanted to live in a kibbutz and pick oranges. So he made me read Marx. I didn’t agree with Marx so he made me read Kierkegaard and all the German romantics and mystics—that’s how I got involved in philosophy. I know I was a fool; I should have said Eckhart fits me to a ‘T’ and I would have had my peace. Look, I’ll admit Kant turned my head as a freshman in college, but already in my junior year—” “Darling, stop trying so hard. You realize all this talk is very sexy.”
― Susan Taubes, Divorcing

“Was it to understand why marriages broke down, what in particular a woman would not forgive a man; was it because of the future ahead of him, or for a movie he might make?”

Time to vote on March's Members Choice selection...

Over the regular criteria I added that this selection should be about a woman, since March is Woman's History Month. I think we got a good selection nominated, both fiction and nonfiction.

So it's time to vote - Poll remains open until the close of day on Feb 7th - thanks
