Another great day has begun! Gounder Brownie has come out with a gem of piece - Reading 'Reading Lolita in Teheran' in India. The Brownie does a critique of the book 'Reading Lolita in Teheran' by Nafisi, and in the process talks about literature, feminism, 'totalitarian' attitudes etc. with references to the book as well as to It's (The Brownie does not have any gender) own personal experiences. The style is that of a literary critique and some words (solipsize) go zoop right over one's head; looking up dictionary.com was but a small effort to enjoy the writing. The Brownie, as usual, has floored me. I am off to first buy a copy of Lolita. Cheers.
The Brownie has a humorous style of writing with an underlying sarcasm. The topics include anecdotes in life with special reference to Stella Maris, feminism and poetry. Sample posts:

Just realised that I am a solipsistic person :)
Lol, I just came here to tell you that I've linked you on my blog...but what do I see!! :) Thanks!!!
@The Inquisitive Akka - I too thought that I was a solipsistic person (or perhaps everyone was), but reading Brownie's explanation of the term (in her blog) gave me different understanding of the word.
yeah... gounder brownie is some wiz. she knows how to write. consistently (though sporadically) gives quality posts.
Hey Inder,
