Tickle Me Pink

There are some days when the literary enthusiast in me gets twitterpated. Today is one of them.

Lately, I've been listening to The Writer's Almanac on podcast. Garrison Keillor does a great job with these little 5 minute blurbs that talk about the birthdays of literary leaders, a bit about their lives, and then he reads a poem. I enjoy listening to these podcasts while taking my daily walk or sprucing up the house.

Today I learned a tidbit about Isabel Allende.

One of her quotes ... not really suitable for a Today's Phrase ... got me to giggling:

Erotica is using a feather,
pornography is using the whole chicken.

That was enough to have me Google her online, where I ran into another quote that starting me laughing all over again. She just seems to "hit the spot" for me.

For women the best aphrodisiacs are words.
The G-spot is in the ears.
He who looks for it below there is wasting his time.

Methinks it may be time to add a book or two of hers to my wishlist.
