[QUOTE]Originally posted by cbrbddd: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mo Ning Min E: [qb] Currently reading My Name Is Red, by Orhan Pamuk, think he won a Nobel. But phew! Good but heavy going so far. [/qb][/QUOTE]I attempted to read Pamuk's "Museum of Innocence" . . . Near the end now and decided to give up. and I found his other books a bit of a slog . . . I keep hoping I will like one as I am very interested in turkey :) . . .and he comes recommended. I guess I am just not in to his style. For "Museum of Innocence", it started out interesting enough but I couldn't buy in to his obsession/affair with a young cousin when he was engaged to another woman . . . AND at a time when a woman's virginity was everything (still is in some ways/some countries) . . . I thought it was an extremely selfish idea to present that this guy could be having sex with 2 women at the same time and therefore "damage" both. And, though we live in more "modern" times (book takes place in 70's I believe) where virginity isn't valued so much . . . I still think it is more a man's dream to be carrying on with 2 women at the same time and a total betrayal of his fiancee to cheat on her. Of course, that has nothing to do with his writing style and ability to transmit the story . . . just my thoughts on some of the ideas conveyed . . . I finally had to give up after he lost his fiancee (she fled in disgust with a broken heart), his young cousin married another man, and he spent 8 years going to her parents house to eat dinner with all of them!
