Hi Amy, please don't feel like you have to subscribe to a certain viewpoint to join in the discussion here--all genuine, respectful, opinions and readings are welcome here.

I think it is great that you had trouble relating to a lot of the social stereotyping in the book--it is something to rejoice indeed :)

Maybe in a couple of years, it will speak to me more than it does now.

I am always fascinated by the way that I can get a completely different reading from a book, or even a song, on a second reading years later, this is something that happens to me a lot and I really enjoy
finding the difference. While i sounds like I got a very different reading to you this time around, I imagine I will have a very different one again myself in a few years :)
