ATONG ANG Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I read a series of erotic novels by bantam by an anonymous author separately titled Him, Her, Them, Us. The novels touch on the sexual awakening, journey, development and maturity of certain individuals emcompassing sexual themes like multiple partners, lesbianism, incest and perversion yet retaining the human side of people. It's probably out of print now but i guess there are some people who still have copies of these. Quote Link to comment

MALACHIlolz. no. the only books that have worth in my collection are the autograped first-run books by local writers. most of my books are in paperbacks coz since HS i loan them to my friends and half-expecting it to return to my fold. PCRPOGIDA Vinci code, yea it became a nice read during the late 90s. interesting but cannot withstand thorough scrutiny and applied logic. Quote Link to comment
