It took its time I have to say, and it kept me on tenter hooks. All the time dangling that promise in front of me. But we are getting somewhere here finally. I am so excited!

Coming from a peoples who‘s country has been invaded and occupied for centuries I do feel with the Continentals. And I feel with the way their loss is described through collapsing buildings and every day items lost forever and only talked in tales about.

I really love the jucstaposition of the two cultures. Not only in the obviously superficial like dressing, skin colour, poverty, etc. But also in the way of world views. The questions where power comes from and how it is wielded.

Finished pt I

I don’t remember ever having so much fun whilst reading about Adam, Eve, lobsters and the human condition itself. Hilarious.

Such a delightful read. Sweet nothings whispered in my ear.

Vendriel and Vendreela
Hm

A scholar from Sythiphore
The shorter the better. A treat.

Meryphillia
Nice take on the whole impersonation thing.

The Vendren Worm
A great idea with a not so great execution this one.

The Siblings and Epilogue
Great idea, wonderfully crafted, and I really do understand the whole ghoul paradigm of carnal lust. Nonetheless too much ghoul porn for my liking. Although I will reread the story to inspect the craft.

How Zara lost her way
Very pleasantly perplexing

A very welcome change of perspective And yes Chalcedor is a treat.

The doctor's tale
Some entertaining adventure. Finally less ghoul porn and lots of fun.

The Ghoul's Child
Is motherhood just a crazy idea? A meme we keep reiterating through the ages? Filling it with new societal norms?
Yes, it is getting better

More ghoul porn. I very much hope for improvement.

Lord Glyphtards Tale. Hm, at first a very delightful kind of vile and disturbing but somehow a little bit disappointing in the last paragraphs. That said, still a wonderful take on transgression.

I'm amazed.

I never saw Habibi as a commentary on the Middle East or Arab culture but as a commentary on our western view of the Middle East. With that said I find the whole orientalism criticism understandable but not very much convincing. Is it so difficult to see the change of tone in those exaggerated harem panels compared to those concerning Haddith or the Qur'an?

W analizowanych badaniach pytano uczestnikow, czy maja przyjaciela badz krewniaka, na ktorego moga liczyc w potrzebie. Okazalo sie, ze przeskok od poczucia osamotnienia do posiadania choc jednej takiej zaufanej osoby wywie ral taki sam wplyw na poziom zadowolenia z zycia, jak potrojenie dochodu.

Did I forget to mention the Übermensch?

One more motif: vanity. How it shapes men.

Sehr nett lesbar, auch wenn man über den latent penetranten Nationalismus hinwegsehen muss.

Liest sich nett runter. Frankie ist wider Erwarten ein sympathischer Kerl und das Setting angenehm unverbraucht.

Hach, wie zu Hause :-)

Oh Boy!
