Mainly, I adored the descriptions of the peoples and culture of the Tahari. This desert land was based on the ancient Arabic cultures which I have always found intriguing to explore and study. There is a palpable sensuality that flows throughout the text especially in scenes that describe the slave dancers. I could truly envision the sparkling mosaics and gossamer chalwar dancing silks.
As for a favorite quote, that's a bit harder. There are many quotes that I like for various reasons. But the following one is one that I find makes for good debate in our modern world.
"Why are the men of Gor different from those of Earth? Is it that it is only a matter of chance, that on Earth and not Gor due to a chance dynamic or a particular situation, the consequences of which were not understood, civilization developed not as the expression, celebration and enhancement of nature, constituting a palace within which nature might thrive, but as its nemesis, its stunting foe? I do not know. Perhaps those they call Priest-Kings, if they exist, have been thoughtful in this respect. Or perhaps it is simply that the men of Gor, unlike the men of Earth, do not choose to unman themselves. why should we do so, they might ask. And there is, I think, no answer to that question, The men of Gor, like beasts and loving gods, subject the women they own to their total mastery. It pleases them to do so. They are men. Should I be distressed, or displeased? Not truly, for I am a woman. I admire their honesty, that they scorn to conceal the sovereignty which is theirs by nature. They do not play games. They put me to their feet, where I belong. Should I be displeased? No, for I am a woman. Only where there are true men can there be true women."
