About the Author

In the sixties and early seventies The Harrad Experiment and Proposition 31 became watchwords for the "hippie generation". As millions of students on campuses across the country read and talked about his books, little did they know, their hero was well past thirty.Bob started writing early in life. As a high school student in Massachusetts in the 1930s, he wrote articles for, as well as helped print and distribute, a small local magazine entitled Boy's Pal. He graduated from Bates College with a multi-discipline degree in English, Psychology and Philosophy and later obtained an MBA from Harvard. His life has been an eventful one. His military service during and after World War II included both at-home and overseas assignments. After his enlistment was up, Rimmer returned to the US and took a position in the family printing business. He spent the next twenty-five years of his life working, raising a family, and collecting his life experiences and formulating them into what would later become events and characters in his many novels.His first two novels, The Rebellion of Yale Marratt and That Girl from Boston, were written before 1960 and were considered much too controversial to publish. However, after years of mail-order sales through a small publisher in California, Rimmer's The Harrad Experiment was published by Bantam in 1967 and was finally available to a wide audience. Within a year over a million copies had been sold. More novels followed, including Proposition 31. All of these novels explored alternatives to traditional relationships and sexuality, subjects very much at the forefront of the public's interest in the 1970's. Now in his eighties, Bob Rimmer, always in the vanguard in his advocacy of alternatives to the traditional monogamous relationship, becomes one of the first authors to recognize the potential of the Internet to bring his books to millions of new readers. With fourteen novels to his credit and still going strong, this author has not only bro

5.0 out of 5 stars Thursday, My Love, October 25, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Thursday, My Love (Paperback)

I thought this book was a beautiful example of how humans can truly love more than one person at a time, and make it work for all concerned. It showed how jealousy can be turned to compassion and friendship. It also showed how nudity can be a wonderful and natural way of exposing not only your body but your real persona and how by exposing that you become an open and honest human being. One of my favorite books!

This book along with any RHR book after "The Harrad Experiment" expands the theme of Love/Sex as a multiple
person experience and a recommended read. Good reading especially if you expand your reading to books in the bibliograhy. Most enjoyable !
