Started this book last week or so...then demolished it on the plane out to Toronto. Really I think I do my best reading on the plane... I was fascinated by this book because I didn't know all of the details of a geisha's life. I had no idea that some thought of them as prostitutes while others considered them artisans and how maybe a little bit of both is true...similarly to how we view Hollywood celebrities -- but in a strange, more revered way. However flawed or archaic the practice and life may be, there was sort of pride? no like an honor associated with being such a lovely, lonely creature. Can't wait to see how the movie adapts this story.
