Third Edition of _Lavender Blue: How to Write and Sell Gay Men's Erotica_ also
known as _Elements of Arousal_
Epigraph: Each word of a work of gay erotica is a spear for the eyes or groin
or gut or heart of straight society. Make every word as sharp as
you can.
by Lars Eighner
who attained previous fame as former homeless person with a dog
as self-depicted in _Travels with Lizbeth_ ; a review at

I found it as a used book somewhere. Makes a good case that homelessness
is boring.

School of Assassins
By John Alejandro King
http://www.covertcomic.com/CCSchool.htm
"The Covert Comic, a.k.a. John Alejandro King, is a real CIA officer
currently under investigation by the CIA's Office of Security and
FBI Counterintelligence. Reasons for the investigation are officially
classified, though possibly it has nothing to do with the fact that
The Covert Comic likes to write intelligence jokes and prose,
publish them on his web site."
Free Speech for all.
not too sensitve poetry, ok to read after a few beers.
It's not too long , so you won't waste too much time reading it.
I've read it twice.
"The poems in this document are classified Top Secret. If you aren't cleared,
you aren't reading these poems."
Preface: Sung to the tune of 'Ninety-Nine Bottles of Beer'
Ninety-Nine Intelligence Documents
Ninety-nine intelligence documents in the file
Ninety-nine intelligence documents
You take one out
Bring it to lunch at Charlie's
Give it to your friend Boris
Ninety-eight intelligence documents in the file
......
Cointelpro
If you don't know what it was
Then it's still happening

News item follow up to previous post about a book burning:
AUTHOR OF BUSH BIOGRAPHY "FORTUNATE SON" COMMITS 'SUICIDE'

Author of Bush biography commits suicide
SPRINGDALE, Ark. (AP) - The author of a book about George W. Bush has
killed himself, police said. James Howard Hatfield, 43, wrote Fortunate
Son: George W. Bush and the making of an American President in 1999. The
unauthorized biography accused Bush of covering up a cocaine arrest. But
during interviews about the book, Hatfield lied to reporters about his
own criminal past.
A hotel housekeeper discovered the man's body about noon Wednesday,
Springdale police Detective Al Barrios said Thursday. Barrios said the
man apparently overdosed on two kinds of prescription drugs. Police
don't suspect foul play.
So there is no need to investigate.
This was the book that was destroyed by the original publishing house;
reissued by SoftSkull.
my original post on this book was

Now the copyright expiration clock has kicked in, we can know when we can
put in legally on the web. I have put it on my to-do list for 2072.
