Kat, that book on cooking bugs sounds promising. Not so sure about the smutty paperpack stuff though. The Modern Drunkard should be regular reading for EVERYONE (including ten year olds. Well, maybe not). http://www.moderndrunkardmagazine.com/ My sole hope is that the editor, Frank Rich, is as much a booze-enthusiast as his writing reflects. Even if you hate alcohol, check it out for the rather entertaining writing. Hub, thanks for sharing. I think.

Okay, I'm gay. I told you I was going to bed. I do have feeling in my entire body, and I can still become physically intimate.

Thanks for the site. I now know to slap the ever-loving shit out of anybody who calls me a chicken-head, and I've learned all sorts of new slang to boot. My burning has subsided, though I think the antibiotics might have a part in it... My books include the origin of zombies, the encyclopedia of woodworking, a cookbook of bugs, several books on Mayan culture, one on eating disorders, and lots of sex stuff. Actually, I am looking to sell some of the sex stuff. Anybody into trashy romance novels or erotic writing manuals? I am drunk and going to bed. One final note...anybody ever heard of The Modern Drunkard? I just picked up a copy at AAA News--they have more than porn! It's a great mag. Good night fuckers! Sleep tight.

Who doesn't love a back-handed compliment every now and again? I ask you: who?

Actually, the book sharing/lit-club thing is the brainchild of Matt Odam & Alison Coffey. They let it rest for a bit, and I'm just resurrecting the idea. 'Tis good, methinks. The term chickenhead has been around for a LONG time. I could define it for you, but why try when there's an Urban Dictionary of The Internets. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=chicken+head Word be bond.

Way too long and rambly as usual, but finally something of real substance from tc! Nice review...and I've been looking for something to read. I too would like to hear more about potential book-sharing, -clubbing, etc. And I also want to know what chicken-head means. I feel like I am missing out on something big!

I would love to be in a book-sharing club! I have LOTS of books of all genres. I'm a bit of a collector. Anybody else down? This could also be a great excuse to meet somewhere once a month and get drunk in the name of literature and thriftiness. This is why I like truecraig. That said, would you pretty please tell me what the term chicken-head means when referring to a girl in a (I assume) derogative matter? I am not offended, but my curiosity is burning...
