I am the Ideal Lover

Most people have dreams in their youth that get shattered or worn down with age. They find themselves disappointed by people, events, reality, which cannot match their youthful ideals. Ideal Lovers thrive on people's broken dreams which become lifelong fantasies. You long for romance? Adventure? Lofty spiritual communion? The Ideal Lover reflects your fantasy. He or she is an artist creating the illusion you require. In a world of disenchantment and baseness, there is limitliess seductive power in following the path of the Ideal Lover.

Symbol: The Portrait Painter. Under his eye, all of your physical imperfections disappear. He brings out noble qualities in you, frames you in a myth, makes you godlike, immortalises you. For his ability to create such fantasies, he is rewarded with great power.

You are most welcome!

Enchantress from the Stars was the first science fiction book I read (I was in the sixth grade, I think), and it had a tremendous impact on me. I still enjoy it, and hope you will too.

Womanspirit Rising came from your wishlist, and I just happened to be looking at my own copy lately. I read it in 1988, during my last semester as an undergrad, for the class in which I was introduced to the Goddess.

As for Cordelia's Honor, it's an omnibus of two novels. Cordelia and Aral are two of my favorite characters. If I could find a man like Aral I would reconsider my devoutly single life. (Of course, that's the impact space opera heros are supposed to have!) Bujold is not afraid to have fun, but she has some serious themes under romping.

Please let me know what you think of them!
