Quote of the week

"Holy shit, is your Dan a ginger?"

(Part of a conversation between three woman in the office reading the Outlander series for the first time, in response to one's statement that she'd tried to get her boyfriend to grow out his hair and sport a kilt.)

    I'm not sure I understand this one.
    Does it mean "Holy shit, he is a ginger" and thus super sexy and hot, or "Holy shit, he is a ginger" I've heard there is something you can get done about that?
    {you don't really need to respond to this one and I'll just assume it's the former!}

    You are correct. The leading man is a hot Scottish ginger that all the girls want to get with. (I think the words "If I was a horse, I'd let him ride me anywhere" appear quite early in the first book.)

    I should get Fran Outlander for her birthday. You can call her Sassenach and drive her wild.

    I still don't get why Joe calls it chick porn, tho....

    While I'm all for a hot ginger, I feel the need to argue for my darling Stephen Bonnet…

    Sigh, Stephen.

    The Outlander series just went way up in my estimations. I think it should be required reading in high schools, possibly travelling back in time and starting with my high school.

    By a strange coincidence, the book is about time travel! Have you been reading the copies I keep on my office bookshelf?

    And Elena, Bonnet may have a sweet Irish lilt, but he's still gross and you know it.

    I love the way Gabaldon describes his gingeriness in such loving detail. Sigh............

    As for Bonnet, I think he would have stood a greater chance of endearing himself to me if he'd bathed prior to that one particular scene.
