The State of Black Erotica
I am troubled that African American sexuality is in a state of terminal dysfunction and that our collective need to shun any sort of healthy dialogue about the subject matter paired with our collective obsession with the proliferation of damaging and harmful adult content that exists is a recipe for our destruction.

BRICK OUTHOUSE: A Jack Reacher novel
About the Jack Reacher novels by Lee Child. Their spare prose. Massive hero. Men want. To be him. Women? To bed him. No foe he cannot defeat. No female colleague? He cannot BED. The books: should suck. But... they rock.

What the hell was That Book called? You know, the one where That Stuff happened in it...
Read a book ages ago, want to find it again, but can't remember its title and/or author? Post about it here, and see if anyone on Barbelith can figure out what book you're on about. Sort of like the "Identify That Tune" thread, but for books.

Barbelith Commonplace Thread
Favourite (favorite - hello search function) extracts, old or new. You don't have to provide an explanation, but do if you can. Also, can we keep quotations to about 300 words or under? People skim over longer ones, and it would be nice to keep things succinct...
