This, Pride and Prejudice (but also Crime and Punishment).

She's actually pretty well read but she lacks depth of understanding, so to speak.

my mom's the same for the most part, god bless her for teaching me to read and to love doing so. i've tried to slip her some nyrb ebooks, and she really seems to enjoy them, so that makes me happy.

I think she mentioned Faulkner before but I don't know for sure. My grandma's favorite is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.

>> No.10085355

She doesn't really read literature though she likes To Kill a Mockingbird and when I was in high school she read a few Vonnegut books I had around and surprisingly she liked them.

Mostly she just reads those "Be your best self" type books or Christian books.

First Mistress T video I saw was the one where she jerks off the young guy and tells him his aunt will be visiting soon and that he will eat her shit.

My mother is an immigrant from a North African peasant background who never learned to read. Same for my father. They compensate with eloquent speeches, subtle manipulation and a good ability to read people.

I'm not a big Mistress T fan, but you have to hand it to the moment, she's industrious and competent. She has everything from videos like this >>10085641 to more conventional femdom, and it's always done with polish.
