What I've Read Recently
Nov. 21st, 2011 01:16 amThe Ultimate Guide to Sex and Disability: For All of Us Who Live with Disabilities, Chronic Pain and Illness by Miriam Kaufman, Cory Silverberg, and Fran Odette
I found the chapter labeled S/M slightly annoying. It claimed that bondage is another aspect of sado-masochism. At least one of my friends is less interested in the SM than the B and DS. So it's not good to think bondage is another aspect of S/M when it's not necessarily always a part of S/M.
Other than that, the book was at least a good beginning point for people who might not have thought of themselves as sexual beings and have disabilities and had some guidance for how to learn more beyond its chapters.
The History of Love by Nicole Krauss
So I might have accidentally placed a hold on the right author, but wrong title for my book group. (It was supposed to be Great House.) So I read a book about an old man whose book was published in South America under a different author's name, about his love Alma, and the girl who was named after Alma and whose mother is translating the South American copy. Of course there's more twists than this, including the old man's famous writer son who may have never known his father, but whatever. I lost track of a connection of how the novel survived a Nazi-invasion of the old man's Jewish village so I got slightly confused.
