.Up All Night: Adventures in Lesbian Sex
City Travel Guides > Books > Social Sciences
from: Alyson Publications Inc

January 01, 2004
This collection of short stories is an absolute scorching read. I was unable to stop reading it and, in the end, I had to ration myself to one or two stories a night.

The subjects cover the whole range of lesbian sexual expression and there is going to be something for everyone inside its pages. It is rude, raunchy, seductive and just plain sexy.

I was aroused by the stories pretty much all the time and my girlfriend kept getting woken up regularly when I was reading it in bed.

Buy it, it will really give you ideas.

.A Woman in Your Own Right: Assertiveness and You
City Travel Guides > Books > Social Sciences
by: Anne Dickson

September 01, 1982
I had to read this book before attending an assertiveness course at work run by the author

The book and the course inspired me to change my job (not what my employers had in mind by sending me on it I imagine)
move house 200 miles, join a gym and lose 2 stone in weight
and learn to say no which is why i went on the course in 1st place

The book is not a classic introspective self help guide - it helped me to make difficult decisions by better understanding what types of people I surrounded myself with/ was surrounded by and how very differently I was able to deal with different types of people over similar issues. I achieved more consistency in my reactions to people and events and I

.Beginning Theory: An Introduction to Literary and Cultural Theory (Beginnings)
City Travel Guides > Books > Social Sciences
by: Peter Barry

April 25, 2002
This book has some great summary sections which are invaluable when revising and trying to learn key points of each theory. However Barry does tend to 'waffle' a bit in places, sometimes making it difficult to understand and there are some errors in the book itself. But it is definately worth getting for the summaries alone, but make sure it is supported by another text.

.Nothing to Be Frightened of
City Travel Guides > Books > Social Sciences
by: Julian Barnes

March 06, 2008
No,not an autobiography but the thoughts on parents,grandparents and photograph of never to be known person in ravaged photograph were fascinating. His brother features greatly in his meanderings althought I sensed a degree of frustration that brother's thoughts did not tally with his at most times.
Thoughts of pre death anticipation and death itself,along with a possible afterlife and existence,or non existence of God were approached from many angles,leaving the reader to make up his/her mind on the subject. Also one or two unique views on the perception of a God..thought provoking.
Not an easy book to read,and you could easily give up in trying to follow his thoughts......"what the hell is he trying to say now?" You may even find your mind ... Read More:

.Staring at the Sun: Overcoming the Terror of Death
City Travel Guides > Books > Social Sciences
by: Irvin D. Yalom

February 28, 2008
I can't think of any non-religious individual more qualified to address the terror of death, man's strongest and most natural fear, than Dr. Irvin D. Yalom. Having recognized that death anxiety is oftentimes at the root of his many patients' problems, he developed his own brand of existential psychology (even as the profession moved away from this type of approach) to help get to the root causes, no matter how hidden they might be from the surface, of many of his patients' problems. Basically, Yalom : Death :: Freud: Sex. The good doctor has also mined the thoughts and insights of many a great philosopher in formulating his psychological world view (his incredible novel, When Nietzsche Wept, is what introduced me to Yalom in the first place). There's also the ... Read More:

.Media Control: The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda
City Travel Guides > Books > Social Sciences
by: Noam Chomsky

September 01, 2002
Unlike many of Chomsky's other political books this one is somewhat easier to read and the points it gets across are lucidly put
It is also short and would make an excellent introduction to his work and ideas

.The Concise 48 Laws of Power
City Travel Guides > Books > Social Sciences
by: Robert Greene, Joost Elffers

June 13, 2002
Don't be fooled - this is really a nasty little book for selfish unashamed sycophants everywhere who will be ruthless enough to lick their way up and up until the boot they licked will kick them into pole position.

Based on Machiavelli's good tips for the unabashed autocratic ruler this book does give you tips on going straight to the top but with severe social and moral problems in tail. Never mind what friends and colleagues will call you behind your back, what they say to your face is probably as justified as your own smoke screens.

Morally I'd gove this tome a 0 but because it so wickedly does what it promises I had to give it a 5 rating... now, if that's not ironic.
