The collected "Leather Notebook" columns.
Twelve years of Masterful advice (and the occasional command) from Larry Townsend, the leatherman's long-time confidant and adviser. Starting just before the onslaught of AIDS, Townsend wrote the Leather Notebook Column for Drummer magazine, tackling subjects from sexual technique to safer sex, whips to welts, Daddies to dog collars.
Now, with Ask Larry, readers can avail themselves of Townsend's collected wisdom as well as the author's new commentary - a careful consideration of the way life has changed in the AIDS era, and the specific ways in which the disease has altered perceptions of once-simple problems.
Any man worth his leathers can't afford to miss this volume from one of the tribe's most celebrated - and trusted - scribes.

I grabbed this at a library sale, figuring that if it was bad, it was surely wishlisted. Anyways, I was very pleased to find that it was actually interesting, despite my lack of enthusiasm on the subject of American History. Yes, I am one of those people whom if you said "Garfield", I would think of the orange cat, but now I find I quite like the former president as well. Well worth the read as it's both informative and entertaining.

I recommend this novel to anyone who enjoyed Girl, Interrupted. It not only shows how rough it was to be gay in the 60's (and presumably before then too), but how tough it was just being different in general (one lady in the asylum is there, basically, because she is deaf). I enjoyed the writing style, it had a very flowing rhythm and fit the situation well.

This is a book of horror and dark fantasy short stories, although I personally thought many in the dark fantasy half could qualify as horror also. Some stories were more original than others, with some, like the award-winning "Cram" being excellent. It was worth reading if you enjoy short fiction.

When I picked this book from my shelves, I was afraid that the mere fact that I knew the world hadn't ended when the year 2000 began would hamper any enjoyment I got out of a cyber-thriller set on that very premise. However, once I started reading it and realized it was as fun as watching a disaster movie, I let my worries go. If you enjoy end-of-civilization panic, or just plain old fun disaster movies, you could do a lot worse than this book.

No girl in her right mind would say no to a date with Bobby Newkirk. Not with those great looks, that easy charm, and the awesome way he plays the guitar. Of course, some people think he's just a bit conceited. But when it comes to breaking hearts, that hasn't slowed Bobby down one bit.
At least, not until the beautiful Wade twins move to Shadyside. And Bobby brags to his friends that they'll both fall for him.
And they do. Too bad for Bobby the twins never learned to share. One of them is jealous, murderously jealous. Is it quiet, shy Bree? Or bold sexy Samantha? Bobby had better figure it out.. or his double fun will turn to double terror.

"What's wrong with you anyway, Graham?"
Everybody keeps asking that question, and Graham doesn't know how to answer it. He'd been looking forward to spending another summer at Mariposa Downs helping his father train race horses, but now he finds everything about his father irritating - especially the way he always has to be right. And then there's Leslie, Graham's best pal for many summers. This year, she's suddenly turned into a girl and she's having a strange effect on him.
But he's no kid anymore - and proving he can make his own decisions is going to make him feel much better - even if he does have to take the heat.

There are no graduates from this school. Ever.
The announcement hangs in the center of the huge bulletin board at school. The printing creeps and drips down the page, and seems to Mariah to glow with fingerprints, evil-crusted whorls of dark plans, and sick thoughts.
Night Class, the announcement reads.
If she'd known what the class would be like, she would never have signed up. Because it is a class like no other.
A class that teaches terror.
Mariah wishes she could escape. But it's too late. The class is closed and Mariah is trapped.
Forever.

Rengie and Tooles have a scheme to get rich quick..
Little do they know they'll have to journey to the ice cap, ride cranky horses, joust warriors, fight frost giants, bargain with witches, use chickens to defeat dragons, and become noble dispite themselves.
Perhaps they should reconsider.
On the other hand, Tooles can escape a prison by using just spit! Surely he can handle a few giants.. can they survive this quest? Should they survive? Ahh, if ever two ne'er-do-wells deserved to ne'er do well, it would be Rengie and Tooles. Fortunately for them, fate looks after fools and children .. and they aren't children.

"Cruising Manhattan's young and beautiful scene on a Harley Davidson, Nick Laws is on a desperate search for supermodels or, as he puts it, "Thing." Whether throwing parties for that one in 50,000 who is "hot. Thing hot," fending off "Civilians" (everyday girls with everyday looks) or convincing Thing to dump "Guy" (everyday boy, everyday looks), Nick is driven by Thing-how to get it and how to enjoy it. After a few freakish days in Miami, his mother's funeral and a bitter family reunion, however, his world threatens to unravel, leading him to bare his soul to a Civilian. But for how long will this uncharacteristic behavior hold? Though the world that Felske paints is self-consciously hipper-than-thou, he holds his portrait of it in check with a ribald sense of humor and an understanding of the limitations of Nick's ways. Tight prose and smooth dialogue impel the story along, while the names of so many trendy New York night spots dot the text that hipster wannabes can use it as a guidebook. This first novel isn't much deeper than the characters it portrays, but it captures their gloss with a smart shine of its own."
