You're Not You: A Novel

From Someone With ALS
I read the hype and bought this book a few months ago. I was diagnosed with ALS in August '07. Reading the statistics -- 50% of us die within 3 years of diagnosis and 80% within 5 years -- sent me on a search for anything, fact or fiction, about ALS. This is not a medical manual. It is a novel that I thoroughly enjoyed. I wish I had the ability to write about my own situation so beautifully ...

Tin House Books, 2007

Diverse and Excellent Erotica
This is wonderful book and I must admit I very much like the short story genre, more than the epic erotic novel. You can pick a story and start anywhere in the book. They are all great stories and each of them has a different slant. There are all sorts of styles catered for, there is even a touch of humor in there.Straight sex and adventurous sex whatever you fancy. The characters are solid and ...
