    			  <br/>I flicked through this one.  Not really *reading* material, per se.  More of a look, and learn.. Be warned, however, you need to be into Yoga, relatively flexible, or extremely well-hung to achieve a good 60 - 70% of the positions here-in.  I was pleasantly surprised to learn that at least half of the more extreme positions were ones I'd already thought of.  It's interesting how each recurring generation 're-invents' sex for itself.  Wouldn't it be great if sexual education at schools came with a free copy of the Kama Sutra?  Thereby increasing each generations capacity for sexual exploration/knowledge, instead of covering the same old ground. In my opinion, sex - in today's society - has a lot of catching up to do.  It's amazing how many people out there haven't ventured further than two or three positions when, all things considered, we should be grandmasters at it by now.

    			  <br/>The book that inspired the classic cult movie &quot;Blade Runner&quot; (Which itself is a movie that I watch at least once a year.) &quot;Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?&quot; is a rollicking ride into the dark, and surreal World of the future. A future where men like Rick Deckard work as bounty hunters finding androids and 'retiring' them before they pose a threat to mankind.  <br/>Mankind, and life itself being on the brink of extinction due to a cataclysmic World War.  The book and the movie both have given me repeated, real-life, inspiration.  In this day and age when our cities are turning into, and resembling the mega cities of Blade Runner, not to mention our increasing reliance on machinery or A.I. to handle the more menial tasks. I can think of nothing more foreboding than this book.
