Female Ejaculation and the G-Spot.......2007-07-03
This was an awesome book, I would highly reccomend it for all ladies once they have reached puberty. It is very informative and knowledgable in the female body and ejaculation!
Female Ejaculation and the G-Spot: Not Your Mother's Orgasm Book! (Positively Sexual).......2007-06-28
This is a very interesting book. I have know about female ejaculation for 15 years now. I just love to help women get to this point in their sexual life. With my new girlfriend, I am not able to bring her to this type of orgasm yet, so I thought that this book might help. As soon as I received it, and showed it to her, she took it from me and is reading it right now. She said that she should practise on her own in the beginning, according to the book. She is not done with the book, but everything I've told her what happens and how to make it happen, was confirmed in the book. When I have her close to the ejaculation point, she cannot quite relax yet to let it happen. By the time she finishes the book, she'll be ready! It is just nice to be able to read and learn this valuable, exciting, fun, wet and sexy thing to do with/for your partner! Get it or you won't GET IT!
Fantastic, Positive, Encouraging, Supportive!!!!!.......2007-05-13
Excellent book!! Very easy to read and written by a woman who obviously cares very deeply about true femininity and honouring beauty in all women. Very encouraging and following the "process" [...]
Most informative book on female orgasm!.......2007-02-15
This book completely describes all three types of female orgasm. Making it easy for any man or woman to try on their partner. It even tells about the history of female orgasm and what some cultures believe about female ejaculation. The book simply describes how to ejaculate with and without orgasms. Great read! Highly recommend. After reading this book all other female sexuality books will not come close to comparing.

Super Reader.......2007-08-07
This is a kid's book, or a young reader's book, mostly, but not of the patronising small words lots of spacing variety like the Smallvilles, for example.
As such, adults aren't going to find this annoying, or anything like that.
The story starts with a young boy being basically bought by an old woman who feels a connection. A [...] social safety net at work on this planet, basically.
She discovers he is not quite normal, having some increasing mental abilities, and then he finds a flying venom spitting minidragon he shares an empathic bond with.
Soon, people are looking for him, including the Meliorare Society, those who created the experiment that had him as one of the successes.
He doesn't remember a lot from his past except for being on the run.
Very glad to see this book re-released.......2007-05-15
This is the first in the Pip series and in my opinion, the best. I'm very glad it's been re-released for another generation.
First and Best.......2005-06-15
Love this book, best in the series. The other books vary from very good (Mid-Flinx, The Tar-Aiym Krang) to not-so-great (Reunion-what was he thinking?) but this is the only one I keep coming back to. Delightful.
Another entry in my nostagia world book tour.......2003-08-17
I re-owned this book as a consequence of having to clean all my books out of my father's house and found myself again in possession of all the books I had hoarded as a pre-teen and teenager. I remembered liking this series a great deal and decided to see how it stood the test of time.
Surprisingly well, is the answer. Although _The Tar-Aiym Krang_ remains my favorite in the series, FLOMN is a nice portrait of the hero as a young boy. Particularly well-done is the way that he bonds with Pip and Mother Mastiff. More character than adventure, but that is not such a bad thing.
I will be holding on to this one.
I love this universe.......2003-04-13
I just love about 95% of books by this author. I finally decided to see if I could find the first book in probably his most popular series.
Mother Mastif didn't know what stopped her on the way to her shop and drew her to a slave auction. Quite without meaning to she buys a boy named Flix who has some..rather interesting abilities. Then things get really interesting as the book goes on.
My impression what I love most about this series, (other then the action and humor that drip from every page) are the names of the charecters.
With names like Mother Mastif
Flix
Pip
My personal favorite an ex-solider named Makes Peace you know that you are in for a treat.
I know that this sounds quiche but this not typical science fiction. I don't give just any old science fiction a 5 star review it has to be really really good. But to Quote Lavar Buurton "Don't just take my word for it". Go out and get yourself a copy of this book.

Because I Said So: 33 Mothers Write About Children, Sex, Men, Aging, Faith, Race, and Themselves

Amazon.com
"Frequent Parenting Miles." Mothers of the 21st Century may not be familiar with this term, (coined by author Faulkner Fox), but they'll quickly catch the gist, no doubt about it. In her irreverent, smart, thought-provoking memoir, Fox raises a lot of questions, and even answers a few. A biggie is this: "If you love someone and he's a feminist, and you create children together...shouldn't the groundwork for peace and generosity be laid? Perhaps Duncan [Fox's husband--not his real name] was a fake feminist, an armchair spouter of equity-talk." Fox agonizes over what is just, for her little family and for womankind. She obsessively (and hilariously) counts the hours she spends caring for her two sons versus the hours her husband spends doing the same thing (a.k.a. frequent parenting miles). She reflects on the social, political, and health ramifications of pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. In her professional life she ponders the time-honored tradition of paying women less to do the same jobs men do. And she returns, again and again, to a fantasy she had in her 20s, in which she writes peacefully in a house by the sea while a man cooks in the kitchen and a small child plays quietly in the corner. Why does real life look so different, even with a swell husband, much-loved children, a part-time job, and a little time to write?
Dispatches from a Not-So-Perfect Life is packed with the kind of ambivalence and unexpected humor and joy that so many women find in life today. It should be required reading for any woman or man contemplating marriage, parenthood, or simply life as an adult. --Emilie Coulter
Book Description
When Salon.com published Faulkner Fox’s article on motherhood, “What I Learned from Losing My Mind,” the response was so overwhelming that Salon reran the piece twice. The experience made Faulkner realize that she was not alone—that the country is full of women who are anxious and conflicted about their roles as mothers and wives.
In Dispatches from a Not-So-Perfect Life, her provocative, brutally honest, and often hilarious memoir of motherhood, Faulkner explores the causes of her unhappiness, as well as the societal and cultural forces that American mothers have to contend with. From the time of her first pregnancy, Faulkner found herself—and her body—scrutinized by doctors, friends, strangers, and, perhaps most of all, herself. In addition to the significant social pressures of raising the perfect child and being the perfect mom, Faulkner also found herself increasingly incensed by the unequal distribution of household labor and infuriated by the gender inequity in both her home and others’. And though she loves her children and her husband passionately, is thankful for her bountiful middle-class life, and feels wracked with guilt for being unhappy, she just can’t seem to experience the sense of satisfaction that she thought would come with the package. She’s finally got it all—the husband, the house, the kids, an interesting part-time job, even a few hours a week to write—so why does she feel so conflicted?
Faulkner sheds light on the fear, confusion, and isolation experienced by many new mothers, mapping the terrain of contemporary domesticity, marriage, and motherhood in a voice that is candid, irreverent, and deeply personal, while always chronicling the unparalleled joy she and other mothers take in their children.
Customer Reviews:
a white heterosexual male view.......2007-10-06
Fox was nailed in Taylor's and Johnson's book "Until Proven Innocent" as one of the Duke English Dept. faculty members who were high in the pulpit accusing the lacrosse players of rape and were eventually proven to be nothing more than anti-male hatemongers. So I looked up her book. My response is to any male who reads this review: never, ever marry a feminist!
This infantile narcissist is what you're going to get if you do.
well written but WAY too self-absorbed and angry.......2007-10-01
While I could relate to many of Fox's feelings on marriage, motherhood, and work, the intensity of her feelings and the anger behind all of it was far too much to take. Her husband sounds incredibly involved, but she trashes him mercilessly. Her kids sound like bright, engaging kids, but all she can do is talk about the drain on her time that they represent. This book could have been saved by humor, but instead it is a relentlessly bleak, dark, and resentful tirade. How is she going to feel when her kids are teenagers and they read the book? For that matter, are other people's feelings important to her at all? Or just her own? A complete downer...
wonderful, true, and quite funny!.......2007-05-02
Faulkner has created a wonderful book for women, parents or not, married or single. This was a page turner and ultimate comfort book for me. Where ever you are in life Faulkner gives you stories that relate and entertain.
A must-read for all critically-thinking and conflicted moms.......2006-08-29
The writing style of this book is, as many other reviewers have pointed out, a bit repetitive and rambling. However, if you can get past that in the quest for meaty social and emotional content (and it's in there), this book is for women like I.
Shortly after I had had my first child, people would breathlessly ask me: "Don't you just love being a mom?!" That question symbolized a larger conflict of mine. Although it was all-too-clear that there was a right answer to the question, I couldn't compromise myself by simply gushing back the expected reply. The truth was that although I really liked the little monkey, the biggest surprise of motherhood was how little it had really changed me as a person. Those around me seemed to see motherhood as a destination at which I had finally arrived--the happy sunset at the end of a long journey. To me, it felt like another role I was trying to incorporate into the self I already knew and liked. That's where Faulkner's book spoke to me.
This book is not for women who have an easy answer to the question of loving motherhood; it's for those who typically try to understand life by analyzing it, sometimes ad nauseum. This book is for women who are unsatisfied and frankly pissed off by the pat and pretty suggestions of how we "should" be feeling about the role or who resist the idea that honesty is necessarily the same thing as whining. I have already recommended "Dispatches" to friends who share the challenge of feeding their own souls while doing their best to love, guide and learn from the little lives entrusted to them.
This just couldn't keep my attention.......2006-06-22
A couple of friends recommended this book to me, so I was really looking forward to reading it. I too have tried to balance writing, academia and parenthood, so I thought I would relate. But this book just couldn't keep my interest, and I admit that I only got about 2/3 of the way through before giving up. I don't mind motherhood memoirs that aren't all sunshine and flowers - in fact, I prefer ones that aren't - but this just seemed relentlessly dark without being compelling. Fox is a fine writer, but I don't know as though her talent is best suited to writing memoirs.

How many times do I have to tell you . . .
How many times have you caught yourself saying or doing the exact same thing your mother said/did (you know, the thing you swore you'd never say/do)? It's something you try to avoid your whole life¿turning into your mother.
Have you ever looked into the mirror and found your mother (or worse, her body) staring back at you?

Book Description
For a long time Freud boasted that he knew what women wanted and he gave their desire a name-penis envy. However, in 1923, he admitted that he had been wrong. It is not penis envy but love for the mother that the girl has and that, like the boy, she has to undo in the oedipal struggle. The details of Freud's reversal have never been fully understood, until now. For the first time the French psychoanalyst Marie-Christine Hamon reconstructs Freud's extraordinary debate with himself and with his students in a major contribution to the history of psychoanalytic thought and to the understanding of female development."Essential reading for anyone interested in female sexuality . . . This highly readable book not only gives many new insights . . . but also puts Freud's contribution into a new light, demolishing the myth of a solitary thinker surrounded by disciples. There is a real debate here, as Hamon demonstrates so well, and Freud is just one of its protagonists. A chapter of the history of psychoanalysis is now rewritten." -Russell Grigg, co-editor of Female Sexuality: The Early Psychoanalytic Controversies

A Love Triangle.......2006-04-07
Keesha Smalls is a 35 year-old financial planner. She has done well for herself but has not been involved with anyone for a while due to a pass hurt. But every time she runs into her neighbor's son, the sexual attraction is undeniable! But how can she go there? First off...he is way too young. Second...He is her good friend's son! Is she willing to risk a good friendship?
.
Keesha's friend and neighbor Christine, has a 21year-old Son named Chris Walker. Christine, although a little over-protective of her son, has taught him not to be afraid to go after what he wants and be successful at it.
Chris has been a model son and student. He is now working his way up in a prestigious investment-banking firm. At 21 he is mature, smart and sexy and he's had his eyes on his mother's friend for years. Now he's established a decent career that has him living well, he wants to follow his heart and reach out to Keesha and show her the love he's had for her all this time is real.
Jamal is a successful GYN doctor who has been in love with Keesha ever since they were in school together. With her best friend Ebony being the instigator, Jamal gets a chance to prove to Keesha that he can be the best husband and lover she could ever want. But will she give him the chance?
Michelle Tanner is Chris's ex girlfriend who can't seem to accept that her relationship with Chris is truly over. She is obsessed with getting Chris back, so much so that she's willing to use the oldest trick in the book!
An explosive story filled with love, lust, deceit, jealousy and murder, dripping from each page. Take a trip to Long Island New York, and meet these interesting characters. Read about a triangle of love and deceit that catches a fire and explodes by the end of the story.
A few things that some of the characters did had me wondering if their head was screwed on straight and Chris's last name kept changing from Chris Walker to Chris Warner. But I enjoyed the plot and the surprising twists that make this book a great read.

STAR RATING****4.0
Excellent Plot, just very unbelievable at times.......2005-06-08
Hope Clark, author of a long list of novels such as Vengeance is Mine, Carrying Momma's Baggage, and Shadow Lover, to name a few, has sparked an interest to our book club for quite a while now. After months of thinking and thinking, we decided to close our eyes and choose one.
NOT WITH MY SON captivated our members with its many suspenseful twists and turns. Yet, at the same time, threw us aback with its fairytale scenes from time to time.
I won't spoil this read for anyone debating on picking this book up, but I will say this is for you if you're looking for a page turner.
Keesha Smalls is thirty-five and in love with her best friend's son, twenty-one year old Chris Walker. This lost me, not because of the age difference, but because of the reasoning behind her interest in Chris. True, he was successful, handsome, but so was she! What was it about Chris that Keesha just couldn't get a grip on? The author should have made this more clearer. Instead, Chris comes over one day, confesses his feelings toward Keesha (he's just as in love with her as she is with him), then next thing you know he's hammering her (as the author puts it). I don't know if I'd be so quick to believe that. I would have liked to have seen more of a relationship forming between them before sex came into play.
Keesha takes a trip to California where she visits one of her girlfriends who makes her presence known to Jamal, another successful man - this one, a doctor who also has been longing for Keesha, only Jamal is more her age.
Keesha and Jamal get it on in California and when she leaves, she leaves with an engagement ring. I understand this is fiction, but come on! Jamal is a doctor who delivers babies, yet he makes irresponsible choices like having sex with a woman he hasn't seen in years and falls deeply in love with her? (Scratching my head)
There are other events throughout the book that makes you stop and shake your head in disbelief, like the anger Chris' mother has toward her friend, Keesha ALL BECAUSE SHE TAKES INTEREST IN HER SON! I couldn't see where the logic was here. However, overall this still makes for a good read due to the drama, suspense, and series of torments that Keesha has to go through all because of Chris.
Hope Clark has many titles under her belt, all that will definitely be read by our book club members. Readers will not be disappointed with her novel NOT WITH MY SON, just be prepared to occasionally raise a brow at the shallow characters from time to time.

Book Description
For every young woman who wants a life as well as a career--and doesn't know how to get there from here.
The next generation of women want a career and a life, but they don't know how to get both. Having watched the boomer generation, they know they don't want their options: sacrificing family life for high-powered careers or consigning themselves to the "mommy track." Not Your Mother's Life shows how today's young women are uniquely poised to reach out and take--or create--the work/life balance that proved so elusive for the boomers. The key, Peters argues, is for women to use their newfound economic power to choose their lives instead of letting their lives choose them. Full of real-life examples of women who are doing it their own way, Not Your Mother's Life offers this new generation a vision of how to remake the work world according to their own needs--ultimately benefiting women and men.

Good in some ways.......2005-05-02
I have to preface this: I'm not a mom yet, so I know zip from experience.
I have some quibbles with some of the Moms profiled in this book who say that bringing their kids to work was no problem. If you're the boss, and you bring your child to the office, your employees aren't going to tell you to your face they mind them being there...but I can say from experience, having your bosses child at the office is a distraction. Also, having to babysit isn't great. The story of the army officer who breast fed her baby in the field seemed outrageous to me.
That said, I think that a lot of the advice is sound, and some of the stories of women who've done it are very inspirational.
Some of the key bits :
- Plan your life (but expect your plans to change)
- Save your pennies
- Choose a career that will give you flexibility. (Yes, they do exist--but you have to look, and you've got to work very, very hard to get to the point where this luxury will be available to you.)
- Pick a good husband!!!! Someone who shares your values. And discuss raising children BEFORE you get hitched.
All good advice.
Wise Advice.......2002-05-20
For all the women of my generation who are confused and frustrated by the millions of options and pitfalls involved in combining career, family and self, this book is a strong answer to those questions. Peters writes clearly and well about the encouraging possibility that we can do everything we want without sacrificing ourselves, our families, or our careers. Sound impossible? That's because we've been brainwashed by the generations before us to believe that we must either be workaholics or stay-at-home mom. Thanks to Peters, we can now remember that there is a balance between them.

Book Description
This book boldly goes where no plant book has gone before: to the hard-hitting facts of what works and what doesn’t work—when it comes to growing lush, beautiful plants that bring joy and beauty into our lives. It does this by exploring the most common causes of plant death:
- Choosing the wrong plants in the first place
- Over-watering them
- The ills of bad soil
- The ill-conceived transplants
- The fertilizing issue
- The bugs issue
- The I-can’t-bear-to-prune-my-plants syndrome
- And more!
In so doing, this book debunks myths left and right—like that disastrous water once a week thing. It throws out the silly plant hype—like that nonsense you find in any other plant book about how fussy African violets are.

HOW NOT TO KILL YOUR HOUSEPLANTS.......2004-02-29
This amazing book contains all the information you will probably ever need to sucessfully grow houseplants. Many great tips for propagation are also included. This book, listed as 'The foolproof guide to lush, healthy plants', absolutely is the best I have come across concerning the nitty-gritty details of houseplant care. The author writes in a friendly style and includes many examples of common mistakes (which most books don't include) we all make. I heartily recomend 'How not to kill your houseplants'.
Reads like a novel.......2003-01-20
This book has about three or four useful tips, but you have to read through a lot of blah blah and pointless story telling to get to them. So if you're looking for a short to the point "do this, don't do that" and "buy this plant, not that one" this is not the book for you. It has no information on how to care for specific plants, it's all general. I sent mine back.
