I keep thinking the Gentry books in the library need a bright red "Weird Sex on Every Page" sticker.
Boring wierd sex, no less.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

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."

So, should I read the things, or what? The Hamilton books, that is?
I am ambivalent. On the one hand, there is good story stuff going on there. On the other hand, they've gone downhill. It's like she has a good idea, and either gets writer's block or bored, so starts using sex scenes as filler. I don't have a good sense of what happened in the last book because I did so much skimming over the sex scenes that occasionnally, I'd miss a plot point.

If I only had a brain...
Deb, read the first. If it's a good bathtub book, read the others until you get bored.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Boring bondage porn.
Yes, heaven save us from pretentious fic!dommes. Some people really wear those garter belts a bit too tight.

Now, for entertaining weird sex & horror, I would suggest Control Freak by Christa Faust.

It's awfully sad that I didn't spend that precious time on a better book. I dumped my hardcover copy of whatever the last LKH was called (Narcissus in Chains??) because I couldn't remember anything that had happened. Hey, I needed shelf space.

Always Anti-fascist!
I would never call my book that because I think it would sound like "Narcissist in Chains" but maybe that's just me.And I liked The Sex, but that was my first one ever, that came from Casa de Tep. I don't know that I would like books and books of it. I did wonder if every other woman in town dropped dead, though. Where were they?

Deb, what Betsy said. At least give the first one a try, because she did (used to) have a snappy fast-paced style of storytelling. I think it started going bad in book seven, but that could just be me.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I will check - I am going tioo get rid of all her books - I don't reread them -- and I'll see if I have the first few... if you want them Deb , they are yours.
