Reddit mentions of The Red Tent - 20th Anniversary Edition: A Novel

There is a used like new copy of this book for under $5!

scurvy thank you for holding this contest!

1. Something Grey. Manatees love tea too.
   
   
2. Something reminiscent of rain. I have have a 6 hour thunderstorm on my iPod that I listen too almost every night to help me relax and go to sleep. But, my pillow finally gave up the ghost, so I use ear buds...not as comfy.
   
   
3. Food related, yet unusual. May seem tame to most, but my brain can't wrap around how these will/would taste.
   
   
4. On my list for someone else. Slightly NSFW! For my wife who has sensitive...well, you'll understand when you look at the link. She needs this stuff to be more comfortable. I only have to look at them funny and it's too much for her.
   
   
5. A book you should read. The Red Tent, is a book based on the fictional life of Dinah from the old Testament. She is is mentioned only once I think in the bible, but the author of this book weaves a life story based on how women where treated and lived back then. Dinah lives in a harsh world but learns from the women around her and see the workings of this mysterious entity called God in her world. It is a wonderful read and having to tell you about it reminded me I want it again to reread. Really a great book.
   
   
6. Item that is less than a dollar. This awesome awesome fantastic song!
   
   
7. Something for my kitty Cassie May. I've always wanted one of these for my kitty and this was the perfect opportunity to finally add it to my WL.
   
   
8. Something that is not useful, but so beautiful I must have it. Isn't it a beautiful ring?
   
   
9. A movie everyone should watch once in their life. Because it is so imaginative and awesomely made with the puppets and sets. And David Freaking Bowie and his cod piece and hair are sexy yet so evil. ....you remind me of the babe
   
   
10. Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. Keep my shankin' knives sharp yo!
    
    
11. Something that would have a profound impact on my life and help me to achieve my current goals. Currently I have no real space to do my painting and in a month and a half I'm moving and will have even less space to myself and my painting. This would enable me to paint at any table. For without being able to take a breather and paint, I can not be myself and have those moments to detach and relax so I can later go out and be the best adult I can be.
    
    
12. Pesky add-on. To make your hair o'so happy.
    
    
13. The most expensive thing on my list. My phone is currently my only camera. I've always dreamed of owning a "professional" camera to go take pictures of all the things!
    
    
14. Something bigger than a bread box. Vroom Vroom
    
    
15. Something smaller than a golf ball. Tee Tiny!
    
    
16. Something that smells wonderful. Romance by Ralph Lauren. Has been my go to perfume since highschool.
    
    
17. SFW Toy. She's evil but she's suitable for any setting!
    
    
18. Something that would be helpful for going back to school. Everyone needs to look stylish and stay cool for school!
    
    
19. Something related to my current obsession. I've become crazy about all things tea!
    
    
20. Something SO AMAZING! BEHOLD the splendor It's adorable, handmade, and I have seriously become so enamored with it! Thought you might like to see it's awesomeness.

The Red Tent

woohoo! Congratulations Violincellist. I used to wonder why people always thanked me when I held a contest, but I get it now that I have been around longer. So thank you.

And what a great thread to save in order to find books to read! I'm always looking for something new. The Red Tent because a friend said it was really good. I'm not sure her and I have the same idea of good when it comes to reading, but I'm pretty eclectic so I gave it a go. Haven't made it far yet, but I thought I'd share regardless :)

Goddamn that sucks. I'm sorry :-(

I've heard the Red Tent is a great one!

The Red Tent by Anita Diamant is fantastic.
