Rifftrax Book Club: Book 2: Bukowski's "Women"

[Tripe]

I don't know i suppose I tend to have shorter patience for blokes than girls, in general I prefer hanging out with the latter and I'd have very limited tolerance for the bloke downstairs.

[Tripe]

So, shall we read on then?

[bettertomorrowamy]

Why does Tammie all of a sudden start talking about sucking everybody off (including her brother)?  Did Hank do something?  Maybe I missed that part, or maybe she's just a hot whackjob?

[bettertomorrowamy]

I'm ready to read to page 225 or whatever.

she's just a hot whackjob

225 sounds good, unless anyone wanted to discuss anything else before we go on

Did i miss the part where tammie talks about blowing her brother?

i must have.

225 sounds good to me.

[bettertomorrowamy]

I wanted to discuss why Tammie said she wanted to suck everyone off.  Anybody know?

It's page 119.  Tammie says, "I think I'll suck somebody off.  I think I'll suck off Bobby, I think I'll suck off Louie, I think I'll suck off my brother."

[Tripe]

I guess because she was feeling in a transgressive mood and oral sex has always been a nice way to be transgressive (hell in some states it's still technically counted as sodomy) add a little incest to that and you've hit the transgression jackpot.

[bettertomorrowamy]

So is it the act of sucking on things that you mean by transgressive.  Like a baby sucks on its mothers breasts?
She is very childish and she knows she can get away with it because of how beautiful she is.
But why does she jerk that Bobby guy off while staring at Hank the whole time?  Just cuz she can?

[Tripe]

Not the act per se but rather being open about it and even though people have always engaged in oral sex, it's often had an air of deviance to it depending upon social norms.

[anais.jude]

She clearly wants Chinaski to react in some way. He doesn't react to her threats, he doesn't react to her getting another guy off.


maybe that is why he is attracted to crazies.

[anais.jude]

I'm ready to discuss

[bettertomorrowamy]

13 more pages and I'm ready.

[Tripe]

I'll be with you presently.

[bettertomorrowamy]

Ok, I'm done and ready to discuss.

How much can you discuss about a blow job though.  It was nice reading it, but it wasn't very deep or anything.
I guess we can talk about what Chinaski's motivations are for wanting to fuck all these ladies, and what the ladies motivations are for wanting to fuck old, disgusting, grumpy men.
