Racism, Sex in English Novels
Hi
Few months ago I was interested in audio book in southern accent. So, I ended up with Charlaine Harris=92 books. She is the author of a The Southern Vampire Series, and there is a TV series based on her work True Blood.
Anyway, I was discussing her work with my fellow worker. She has been reading her novels too. Naturally, we ended up discussing sex in the novels, and I told her that I was disgusted =96 eating, drinking blood while having sex. My co-worker believes that sex in the book is written from fat people=92s point of view. Author is a very fat woman (think obese). I used to have some weight =96 but I never crave food during sex, maybe obese people eat while having sex =96 assuming they can find some to have sex with?
Personally, I found her novels to be racist. In every one of her novel minority are picked as villain, or intolerant people. Only, white (Blonde hair, blue eyes) are to be trusted, and the only way to trust non-white is by nuclear bombing them, and then westernizing them (i.e. Japan). It is very strange but French people carry the same type of hatred towards African, and Asian in France, also in New Orleans, and Canada. I have notice that this typical behavior is common among Bible belt of America, and South too.
All in all I hate modern English novels.

The connection of food and eating with *** is well known. The blood connection is probably only for a minority.

That sort of statement brings up remembered images of the movie, Tom Jones.

Right, but I think the scene was probably in the novel also, which I read even before the film came out and haven't re-read, so I could be wrong.

I don't find them racist!
Charlaine Harris is not obese. She weighs more than 90 pounds, yes; she is neither slender nor skinny certainly not skeletal! I'd
