While in school, many of the classics were rather dry for my palate. But, man, was that a clever story full of humor! You'd think at least one of my teachers could have said so.

I was n't disappointed The Story of a Murderer is a 1985 literary historical cross-genre novel by German writer Patrick Süskind. The novel explores the sense of smell and its relationship with the emotional meaning that scents may carry. Grenouille, is a unique character as he learns the perfumer's art we learn that his motives are suspect - scent is all he is concerned with, and he wants to learn to distill and extract odors of living things and objects, not just flowers and other plants. The book follows his relationship with scent and how he covets the life essence of young women, leading to a self-initiated refuge, and a compulsion to find these unobtainable scents and eventually a spectacular resolution of the plot. The language is highly descriptive and you can visualise and almost smell the scent dropping off the pages. Patrick Suskind's prose is rich and evocative Perfume is an unexpected story but it is also lyrical and mesmerising. I'm so glad I read it!<br />Dorothy_Langman@hotmail.comDorothy Langmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15666804143998080813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622828765030571851.post-80919693926686606372014-07-14T16:50:18.690-04:002014-07-14T16:50:18.690-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dorothy Langmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15666804143998080813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622828765030571851.post-78297983237597055632014-07-14T11:35:42.338-04:002014-07-14T11:35:42.338-04:00I can't think of any that i didn't like fr...I can't think of any that i didn't like from when i wanted to read it until i finished it. i usually only hesitate to read something out of my "normal" range of books, but if i see good reviews or recommendations, i will usually try it. <br />sparkle40175@hotmail.comNovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230342571174435528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622828765030571851.post-53265578887356898342014-07-14T10:52:30.934-04:002014-07-14T10:52:30.934-04:00Pretty much will read everything and anything...an...Pretty much will read everything and anything...and finish even if I don't really like it.

When I finally did, I saw that it was a retelling of the story of Hosea updated to wild west times. I'm not fond of westerns, so I put off reading it. When I finally did, I loved it. Not only was it an enjoyable read, it really made me think. It's definitely one to read over and over. I also found out that I really get a lot out of books that take characters from the Bible and expand on them so we can better understand them, the times they lived in as well as the social climate of the time. I just make sure they are trusted authors or at least Biblically accurate.<br />vjvereeke@hotmail.comViv V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11021116289226382415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622828765030571851.post-85962388704527258322014-07-09T17:19:32.825-04:002014-07-09T17:19:32.825-04:00I am hesitant to read books that have paranormal e...I am hesitant to read books that have paranormal elements but I've read a few that are actually believable.<br /><br />littleone At Shaw DOT caPoCoKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02041525731209772631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622828765030571851.post-10590739447159973352014-07-09T16:16:03.729-04:002014-07-09T16:16:03.729-04:00Life Drawing by Robin Black.
