 It's funny how you guys were talking about The Secret Life of Bees!
 
I just purchased it today and can't wait to read it.[/div][div]
Are you guys going to watch the movie when it comes out?
 
I also heard that the book, Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert is good.  Has anyone read it?

I'm half way into the Secret Life of Bees and really really enjoy it.  Good choices, PC and Gophie.  Thanks. :)

Metamorphosis - Kafka

I preferred Ovid's Metamorphoses! lol.

Hmm not a Kafka fan Gopher?
So many different meanings to his works, at least I what find. To me though everything is either political or it's a statement of religious hierarchy. So when we read Kafka's original Before the Law (not the posthumously extended piece where 'K' is talking to a priest), I saw him talking about Religion and life's bureacracies that we've created. lol

Yeah the absurdity is hard to take some times for me. I keep coming back to the question of 'what's the point to this? or am I just reading a ramble of nonsensical lines put together on a page?' Then again it is expressionism.
