The Collector

For the outside reading I am reading The Collector by John Fowles. The book is about a man who is a butterfly collector who ends up "collecting: a woman. He watchers her from afar, and then one day he kidnaps her and takes her to his house. To him she is like a rare specimin of a butterfly  that he feels a need to study. He feels lonely and just wants someone to love him. He adheeds to her every whim because he wants to keep her and make her happy. When she starts not meeting his expectations and not behaving how he would like he turns kind of dark and becomes more strict and guarded. I like this book, because I love anything that has to do with reading about criminals. It is just very fascinating and interesting to me.
