Yes, sumi. It doesn't start out too bad. But it gets much worse. I think what bothered me the most is that she doesn't let a chapter go by without reminding you that he's a brilliant young politician. The story itself isn't bad, I don't think. It's the execution that leaves a lot to be desired.
And we live to fight another day.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
They sell Harlequins, but they don't buy them or take them in trade. That's because they don't sell as many as there are used copies out there and they would end up overrun.(Psst! They DO buy them if they run low, but it's not a general policy).

I just found it funny because they are so specific. Hell, Harlequins are how I learned about sex (the horrible, neverending sex talk where my mother had a legal pad with an outline where she checked the subjects off as she went over them notwithstanding)

Really?
yes really. I have no actual memory of what she said, I just remember staring at a spot on the carpet and praying for it to be over. And having her say "Do you have any questions?" and when I mumbled "no", she would check off the subject.

It's a wonder you ever had sex. My parents gave me Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex, and The Sensuous Man and The Sensuous Woman when I started asking questions at age 9. I learned about penis piercing and oral sex at the same time.

At this point, I've worked through my sexual hangups, but my mother probably was to blame.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
OH god- thats one of the most horrifying experiences of my lifetime- my mom buying "What's Happening to My Body", telling me to read it and that we'd talk about it after. It still makes me cringe.

Wow, Hecubus...I thought my mom was progressive. Not *that* progressive. (still hoping to release book "Everything I know About Sex That I Learned From Buffistas...4 volume series)
