You know a book is going to be with reading when, in the first hundred pages, a leading feminist spokesperson and editor of women's liberation magazines loses her virginity to a 5 foot 6 inch Czecoslovakian speaking, philosophy spouting cockroah.
And here, gentle reader, the curtain must be drawn. The interactions of chitin and flesh are rare, and like many rare things - tropical orchids, Beauty's visit from the Beast, solitary woes - they are best left in the darkenss, unmolested. Suffice it to say that it was not a happy experience for either Gregor [the giant cockroach] or Alice [the feminist]. Strangeness mixed with shame will spawn an unsound brew. Flesh is tender, chitin hard. How to play antennae with someone who has none? Some lips are made for kissing, others definitely not. Humans are the only mammals that mate face to face, one of our pair was not even a mammal. There are places where hooks are not appropriate. The only good thing that can be said was that they did not have to worry about birth control.
I love laughing unexpectedly when I read a book.
