Book meme- Day 23

23. Made to read at school.

I’ve been made to read William Golding’s Lord of the Flies twice, and t stands out because I hated the book the first time, and I hated it on the re-read too. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye was also a school required read I didn’t enjoy at all. Classic or not.

On the other hand, I was also required to read Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time: Swann’s Way and loved every word of it. I really wish I could read it in French.

Fanfic recs- All About Eve

I think I have fallen for my smallest fandom yet. The number of fanfics for All About Eve is, apart from my own, numbered six. And of those three are cross-overs, and not dealing with the characters from the movie. But the remaining three are all very good and deserve more love than they have got.

Title:What Can There Be To Know…?
Author: anna_bird
Fandom: All About Eve
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 3459
Characters/Pairings: Addison DeWitt/Eve Harrington
Warnings: Rape/Non-Con of the dubious consent variety.
Summary: What a strange awfulness - to feel the world at your fingertips, the audience, the applause, the love enveloping you, and then this. From the keeper of the world to beast in a cage.
AN: Dubious consent, dubious circumstances, dubious motives. This is not a nice relationship, these people are damaged and not nice; content could trigger some. Written for kink_bingo, the prompt was "mirrors." I'm pretty literal.
