I"m fond of it too -- I first read it in 1978 and again in the 80s - both a long time ago. I saw the movie in December. They did change the tone quite a bit, and the ending. The movie has a depressed air about it, and that's not the way I remember the book.

I've read most of his other books as well. One you might like is 'My Guru and his disciple'. And in fact I have made gifts of both of these books.

What about the Tom Ford film? I saw a peek preview here. Looks good, thanks greatly to cinematography and Colin Firth. But I was gonna write a post to bash Tom Ford on something else.

So tell me what you think of the movie if/when you've seen it.

There is a preoccupation of "how to mske it intriguing" that makes the whole thing un-naturally over-serious, thus tedious and predictable. I know it's supposed to be a "disturbing" scene and topic, but I am more irate than disturbed "-/ afterwards, because of how they do it.

Now, if she was to bend down and suckle on whatever cum that comes out of him and, then lays her head down next to him, I would have been willing to buy more. And I'm not just saying that to be provocative. I think the detailing of the act(s) of a deranged person needs to be there in that kind of scene and film topic ( ... )
