So is it a fringe book or a home improvement book? Ah, it's a nutter. Would've been interesting if they had mixed electrical installation and poltergeists instead

Yeah, the economy is bad when there's books out there on making money in cricket farming. I really hope personal ear cleaner isn't in here as well.

Certainly the first American city I think of when I see the word 'Gangsta' is....Oklahoma City. Yes, I can imagine it's 'urban' population is just sprawling.

"The Network and its affiliates used to be one of Oklahoma City's most organized crews. No one knew exactly where they got the money to buy up businesses and real estate, but everyone on the streets respected them. Their criminal enterprise is unraveling quickly, though, as member loyalty is challenged and betrayal becomes the name of the game."--P. [4] of cover.

Those Twilight & True Blood fans are weak - the REAL vampire fans read bodice ripping genre mashups like vampires in Atlantis. Or Vampires at Denny's.

Honestly - do we really need to have DVD's about how to go to the bathroom? Maybe I'm old, but I don't recall needing video instruction on this. Is the real target audience for this NAMBLA?

Surely if Jane Austen was alive today she would've spiced up Pride & Prejudice with a bit more bodice ripping

Pride and prejudice : hidden lusts / Mitzi Szereto


http://catalog.multcolib.org/record=b2076410*eng


http://catalog.multcolib.org/record=b2076410*eng

"Imagine that Jane Austen had written the opening line of her satirical novel Pride and Prejudice this way: "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a good romp and a good wife - although not necessarily from the same person or from the opposite sex." In Pride and Prejudice: Hidden Lusts Mr. Darcy has never been more devilish and the seemingly chaste Elizabeth never more turned on. The entire cast of characters from Austen's classic is here in this rewrite that goes all the way. This time Mr. Bingley and his sister both have designs on Mr. Darcy's manhood; Elizabeth's BFF Charlotte marries their family's strange relation and stumbles upon a secret world of feminine relations more to her liking; and, in this telling, men are not necessarily the only dominating sex. And of course there's some good old fashioned bodice ripping that shows no pride or prejudice and reveals hot hidden lusts in every page-turning chapter"-- Provided by publisher.

No, I'm not slacking

OK, I get that the Robin Hood backstory might not be enough to fill out your little zombie trope - but did you have to throw in the Canterbury Tales as well? Seems like you're getting desperate....

Robin Hood & Friar Tuck : zombie killers : a Canterbury tale / Paul A. Freeman

On the other hand, the current zombie / dracula / merman theme is still hoppin, especially when you mix it with popular genres such as 'white trash'

My life as a white trash zombie / Diana Rowland.

Interest seems to be waning quickly on the entire zombie / werewolf / vampire / sasquatch take on the classics. (Not a single hold on this one....)
