I'm re-reading Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. I skimmed it in college, but it didn't really grab me. I'm enjoying more this time - maybe because I'm more in touch with my inner "wild woman"!
I read it when it came out years back It was the perfect time in my life for that book. I was seperated from my husband and really coming into my own, so to speak. I would recommend it to anyone. it was a freeing book for me.
I, like Linda, read it as soon as it came out and it was THE perfect time for me to read it too- had 2 small kids and was trying to keep a hold of my sanity and individuality. i really enjoyed it. I wouldnt mind pulling it out again.
i have it around here somewhere .. i think when i read it .. or parts of it .. it also didn't GRAB my attention .. except for the story of LaLoba .. the BONE WOMAN! of my gosh .. i read that story at one of our doll club gatherings and then challenged all the girls to make LaLoba dolls. SUCH IMAGINATION! GREAT DOLLS came out of this! HA! you shoulda' seen me one day when i discovered a poor little dead bird on the sidewalk .. and pictured me defeathering and picking dead bird bones for this doll! COULDN'T DO IT!!! sooo .. i just bought a chicken .. boiled it .. and used 'chicken bones'!
