Have you read...Yup...that's exactly as I feel.<br /><br />Have you read Kij Johnson? She has a very interesting take on what it's like to be a cat transformed into a woman in feudal Japan.

Now I will have to dig out my book and read all of the stories again. Btw - while I have trouble seeing you as a nun, I also totally get that need for solitude.
