Books you do and don't want to read (Does rabies need a TW?)

(Anonymous) 2013-01-15 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
I can't even see the word "rabid" without a shudder of fascinated horror, but I'll probably read Bill Wasik and Monica Murphy's Rabid: A Cultural History of the World's Most Diabolical Virus, the way you have to stick your tongue into the big blister where you burned the roof of your mouth on a hot piece of pizza.

And then I'll be afraid to go out of the house. Hell, I'll be afraid to stay in the house. Rabid dogs will break down my door.

OH DO NOT WANT TO READ. BUT THE LINK IS SO TEMPTING. I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN.

I too have a weird fascination/fear of rabies.

The cover illustration alone is enough

Seriously don't know if I want to / should read this. Part of me does, part of me doesn't.

Were you brought up in that church, anon?

Yep!

I should also add that I lived through the 'fragmentation' of the title. Not sure if I want to revisit that, it was bad enough living through it. OTOH maybe it will give me a better insight to why / how it all happened. The final thing is, I still believe what the church taught before the 'fragmentation' so IDK if I should be even thinking of reading the book. Although one of the 'fragmented' groups says it's kosher, IDK.

Lord of the Rings. On the one hand, I really want to read them. On the other hand, the film adaptations are my favourite movies ever and I'm scared that if I like the books too much it will ruin the movies for me.

If you like the original book so much that your favourite movies are ruined in comparison, that means you have read an awesome book. Go for it.

Or it means that it's such an awful (to you) book that it clouds your perspective of the movies.

Try finding the audio book for it. No real effort, it's just read to you! And I watched the movies before I read the book and it just enriched my experience of the movie, to be honest.

World War Z was like this for me. I have both a phobia and a fascination for zombies. It was a great read, but trying to go outside at night for about a week afterwards was kind of an adventure.
