The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, by Muriel Sparks. This slim little book was far more complex and took longer to read than I would have expected. I'm not sure what I think about such an intense relationship between a teacher, in her "prime" and her six students, during which over the years, she grooms them in her quest to select the correct girl to become her proxy in a sexul affair with the man she loves. Ultimately one of the girls, Sandy, betrays her, not because Miss Brodie encouraged the affair, but because Miss Brodie is a Fascist.
I've got to give more thought to this book.
Listening: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.
Reading: Catching Fire.
