I need some audio book recommendations. I just finished two on escaping Scientology, and I've done few on escaping polygamy (FLDS church). I don't need to stick to these topics, but I like memoirs and nonfiction on audio. Any titles you could ...

Finally got around to reading "The Godfather". I still haven't seen the movies. However, the book was really good. I recommend it highly.

Just reread Paul Fussell's Wartime, a look at the real brutality and daily horror of World War II that shows the romantized portrayal on tv and the big screen for what it is (it took Hollywood more than fifty years to finally acknowledge in Saving...

Got a book (or poem, come to that) you consider particularly erotic? I think I'd go for Anais Nin's 'Delta of Venus'.

Any science fiction fans here? My all-time favorite book, of ANY catagory, is DUNE, by Frank Herbert, but lately I've been reading the Galaxy's Edge series, by Jason Anspach and Nick Cole. If you like military sci-fi, it's a very entertaining series.

‘It’s an astonishing career. I can remember when 'Portnoy’s Complaint' was the book that everyone identified him with. He was very much part of that great outburst of liberation, freedom and erotic excitement of the 60s. He was the head of that...
