I think that LJ is a bit unbalanced (!) in this scene. Some reasons: His efforts to regain his father's honor, Percy's betrayal and John's involvement as a witness, Geneva's death,, and the general situation of the Dunsanys, and his recovery from his battle wounds. Add in that he is coming to James for help, that he is still totally in lust and love with James, combined with James' expression of disgust with men loving men! It was also completely out of character to inform James exactly how John could make him feel in bed. I guess the culmination for John on that awful day was an uninhibited and desparate self attack for relief. Poor John. -- LJG Discussion board

In reply to: Conmama 's message, "Wow, this book is really weighing heavy on me today (finished this morning). I really like getting to know LJG much better, but I'm very unsettled with what I know of him somewhat. I'm a big LJG fan, even admit to a bit of crush. Somethings just sort of startled me. For example, after he and Jamie fought, he went outside and had at himself...in full daylight where anybody could watch, including Jamie. Just trying to let the book sink in still. I loved his relationship with Percy." on 11:57:39 09/01/07 Sat
