My Education

by Susan Choi

Warned about the womanizing activities of Professor Nicholas Brodeur before her arrival at his prestigious university, graduate student Regina Gottlieb is nevertheless captured by his charisma and good looks before falling prey to his volatile wife.

An intimately charged novel of desire and disaster. Regina Gottlieb had been warned about Professor Nicholas Brodeur long before arriving as a graduate student at his prestigious university high on a pastoral hill. But no one has warned Regina about his exceptional physical beauty-- or his charismatic, volatile wife. Regina's mistakes only begin in the bedroom, and end-- if they do-- fifteen years in the future and thousands of miles away. By turns erotic and completely catastrophic, Regina's misadventures demonstrate what can happen when the chasm between desire and duty is too wide to bridge.

This started being really slow and dull with almost 2.5 hrs of no gayness that then implodes in ridiculous instalove affair. I couldn't deal with all the over the top ignorant pretentiousness and the descriptions...I don't even know how to begin warning about it.




Notes From Reading:
-->Haha Casper, "Do I want to fuck him or be him?"
-->Bastard laughs at Polanski?!?
-->Hmmmm, interesting protesting the white prof.
-->Dueta is dead wrong about the protesting
-->"The way he read thrummed with sex." I think it's all in your head...
-->The speed grading disturbs me greatly.
-->Awww the hallway moment.
-->WTF w/ this dinner party?
-->Racist WW
-->"idolatrous attraction to beautiful women". I liked the phrasing before I googled it and found all the Bible bullshit.
-->LOL the car ride home
-->Wow the stereotype nursemaid
-->Oh my god, talk about instalove.
-->OMFG, "stroking each other like a pair of Hellen Kellers."
