    Pauline Reage: The Story Of O

    I was originally going to post this in the Romance section of Fiction, but I thought best not. A few years ago I was taking some health sciences courses at the local college, and there I had an amazing women as my Human Sexuality Professor. She recommended this book to me. I found it at the...

    John Marsden & Shaun Tan: The Rabbits

    A friend and I found this book in Indigo a few years ago, and it has to be about the most beautifully illustrated book I have ever held in my hands. I wouldn't hesitate to scan the pages and have them printed and framed so I could hang them in my home. Of course this desire could also stem for...

    Boy Love Manga

    Point of reference for anyone interested in this type of manga -- it's called Yaoi. And the major cultural significance of this genre of manga is that it's predominantly, if not exclusively, drawn/inked/written by women for women.

    Hello from Ottawa, Canada

    The only Yukio Mishima I've read has been My Friend Hitler, which, damnit, I didn't have time to finish. I find Akira Yoshimoto totally engaging. I lend myself over to him 100%, I will willingly follow him in any journey he sets out for me. I actually found his works while looking for Banana...

    Books you quit/dropped

    He nearly won. I mean, impressively so. I can't get through the Hobbit. Everyone I've talked to about says stick it ouf the first 50-100 pages, and it's worth it, but I just can't (even after skipping ahead - gasp!)

    The new economy of book publishing

    I really honestly do not see this happening. I'll be the first to eat my words on the day in the future if it does, but there's too many advances in technology that are making it profitable to KEEP printing on pulp. Besides with the emergence of books printed on plastic (resins & inorganic...

    Bret Easton Ellis

    The only Bret Easton Ellis I've read so far has been Less Than Zero, which I loved. Ellis, while I don't know much about him, seems to run with a crowed that I really enjoy (i.e. Donna Tartt)

    Jeffrey Eugenides

    The Virgin Suicides was the first book I read in one sitting, and one of the few I could read over and over. I MUST read Middlesex

    Hello from Ottawa, Canada

    Evening all, I found this forum through a long overdue Google search for a community such as this. A little about myself, and my reading habits... It used to be, when I had the time, I was at the library at least once a day. I might as well make the library's online catalog my homepage. I...
