You're correct, but I thought that part was a little too graphic and off-topic to include here. <br /><br />Hugs,<br />HermioneHermionehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395671806340391253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178998232488314107.post-6383587830917823352010-10-25T10:13:04.842-04:002010-10-25T10:13:04.842-04:00It's been 24 years since I read Tai-Pan, but i...It's been 24 years since I read Tai-Pan, but if I recall correctly, he pours whiskey on his arm and lights it aflame to cauterize the bite wound. The next day, he scolds her for referring to her sore bum as "she" rather than it. <br /><br />No, that scene didn't catch my attention at all...Indyhttp://innocentindy.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178998232488314107.post-5833869469772625212010-10-18T15:06:08.439-04:002010-10-18T15:06:08.439-04:00Not titillating at all, Hermione, more snore induc...Not titillating at all, Hermione, more snore inducing.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942410562084877037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178998232488314107.post-6351380830148229052010-10-18T14:46:58.847-04:002010-10-18T14:46:58.847-04:00Sara - I'm glad that this refreshed your memor...Sara - I'm glad that this refreshed your memory.<br /><br />barely.pink - My pleasure.

I read it in high school back in the '70s when I should have been reading James Joyce's "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" for British Literature class. Was so surprised and happy to find such exciting spanking in a mainstream book. Ronnie, book was great, film was awful. BTW I finally did read that Joyce classic for a course in college and I enjoyed Tai-Pan much better.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942410562084877037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178998232488314107.post-45216805705084954952010-10-18T10:29:35.704-04:002010-10-18T10:29:35.704-04:00I wish I had read the book.
