Strange Vernaculars
How vocabularies once associated with outsiders became objects of fascination in eighteenth-century Britain While eighteenth-century efforts to standardize the English language have long been studied—from Samuel Johnson's Dictionary to grammar and elocution books of the period—less well-known are the era's popular collections of odd slang, criminal argots, provincial dialects, and nautical jargon.

Mike And Bunny
They say monotony is the enemy of monogamy. Mike Rivers was a self-confessed geek and there was nothing monotonous about his life after he met her. He was a computer nerd who knew nothing about women or much about life away from his keyboard. Then he met Bunny and thus began his lessons about women and about sex and about love. Three things of which he had zero knowledge. Mike innocently entered into a world he had only read and dreamed about. A world of sex, sex and more sex. Bunny told him there was a vast difference between love and fucking and that he shouldn't confuse the two. Luckily he was a quick study and Bunny was a patient teacher. Mike tell the story of how he entered into a family of hedonists and came to love it and Bunny's odd family. Mike listened intently as Bunny tells him about her life before they met. This is a shooter's yarn so of course there is interracial sex. There is plenty of one on one, two on one and more on one. There is also some girl on girl sex.

Loving Literature
One of the most common—and wounding—misconceptions about literary scholars today is that they simply don’t love books. While those actually working in literary studies can easily refute this claim, such a response risks obscuring a more fundamental question: why should they? That question led Deidre Shauna Lynch into the historical and cultural investigation of Loving Literature. How did it come to be that professional literary scholars are expected not just to study, but to love literature, and to inculcate that love in generations of students? What Lynch discovers is that books, and the attachments we form to them, have played a vital role in the formation of private life—that the ...
