5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy, literate, lovely, January 22, 2002

By	M. Anderson (Michigan) - See all my reviews

I don't usually write reviews, but this is the loveliest of books, so lovely that I'm keeping it out on my coffee table for conversation starters. It looks so "dirty" but it's so literary and interesting. There's not a story or poem in here that isn't wonderful, and the humor is good too. I leave it out so that people can pick it up and turn to any page and be surprised, and always interested. Stories like "River of Butterflies", "Blue in Cuba", and "Grady's Bar & Grille" are just amazing and original. Excellent book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reading, January 17, 2003

By A Customer

This is an excellent anthology, with well-written stories, sexy poems, and funny essays. It's probably the best erotic collection I've read in ages -- thoughtful, soulful, hot where it needs to be, but overall the quality of it comes across like high-lit, not throw-away smut, or sloppy like some of the "best of" books have been lately.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great stories, January 8, 2002

By	John Kayson (New York) - See all my reviews

These stories are great - "Tell Me A Story", "The Symbol For Intensity", "The Secrets of Humphrey Milquer" - better than most erotica I read. I like the mix of humor and information and sex in the book, and I quite liked the writing about "What's Abstinence Got To Do with It?" about teaching kids well. An excellent book, and great for reading on the train.
