No, but I heard of Benjamin BlÃƒÂ¼mchen who is probably a better read anyway

How should I know, mang. Ask the literature nerds, I'm the non-fiction reader for the most part :tear in eye:

You mess something up.

True. MEMOIRS OF A PHUKET GEISHA is a track by the RED ELVISES (maybe some remember them from the movie SIX STRING SAMURAI).

They have a buch of really decent tracks.

Naja, schon gut. Ich liebe grosse buchen lessen.

I don't. All the time you think she's finally gonna get poked, but it never happens. She gets poked once to check if she's a virgin at the beginning, nothing else. What is a Geisha good for if no sex is present in the book?

Am reading Eiji Yoshikawa's Musashi.

For a second time.

And I can now say it's by far my favorite book.

You must have missed the part about the "mizuage".
