Quirky characters abound in this paranormal mystery. Lorelai King does a great job narrating.

I am torn with this book. I would definitely say that there is not anthropological merit to it considering her special "bi-gendered" creature (her words) stature. She rides a line between how an outside women is able to act and what an Afghan women is limited to. It is depressing to see the oxymoron that is life in this world. In one instance Sultan Khan talks of empowering women but then treats them in the traditional fashion - he only has his past with which to guide his actions.

This anthology, a sequel to the first volume of Up for Grabs, almost defies description. None of the characters in these stories is confined to being male or female for life, although some of them choose to appear temporarily in a conventional gender. As the editor explains: "The stories.. . .show us how intersex people could build new kinds of relationships, new families, and new societies where erotic satisfaction is a right, not an accident." Each story approaches the theme of gender-bending from a different direction. In "The Bell House Invitation" by M. Christian, a self-chosen family of characters can each inhabit each other's consciousness. Each has a gender (female or male) and a fixed personality. In "Lover of the Whore of Babylon" by Raven Kaldera, an ordinary woman (relatively speaking) is privileged to have sex with an ancient deity, Baphomet, who can possess any receptive human. The woman is erotically attracted to other people who are androgynous or transgendered, and those are the ones who are taken over by Baphomet when s/he chooses to play with her human worshipper. In "The Verb for Change Is Sex" by Zachary Jernigan and "The Sex of Therapy" by Elizabeth Thorne, the central characters can change gender, quickly or gradually, for specific purposes. "The Isle of the Dead" by Thomas S. Roche is about the ultimate rock concert by a goth band, and a groupie named Alice who gets what she has always wanted. While all the characters transcend binary gender, they also seem to straddle the line between life and death. "Wer-What" by Esmeralda Greene is about a human shapeshifter who attends play parties as an almost unidentifiable animal with two complete sets of genitals. In the punch line, one of "her" playmates figures out her species. "They Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To" by Laura Antoniou is a one-page vignette about a maker of customized cocks that are more specialized than the biological kind. "Mouth" by M. Svairini (one of the founders of http://shamelessyonis.com) is an elaborate story set in a future underground culture in which everyone must choose one of four "genders" at puberty: Mouth, Ass, Cunt or Cock. The chosen organ is then "enhanced" to be a focal point of pleasure. Expect the unexpected. -------------

Wow, what a ride, if I was dissapointed it was only because I could not stop often enough to catch my breath... But I did love it, when rating it I think I was just feeling grumpy it is over. I have to think awhile about it to see what my rating will really be. This read for me the way the Goblet of Fire did, I could just not slow down, except to allow the other people in the house to have a crack at it. I cannot wait until they are done so we can talk about it. Same goes for my friends!

This book was the most overrated piece of crap of the twentieth century. It spars only with Dianetics and in its absolute absurdity. The characters are absolutely idealized 'heroes of capitalism' action figures. I wonder if Rand imagined some of these great barons of industry coming to her rescue when she immigrated away from the vile pit of communism that she left behind. You know, during the time where she forged her citizenship papers and depended on the generocity and kindness of a liberal, open society. If only she had us all her irritating, long winded, repetative tales of woe for the monied class of brilliantly handsome, powerful super geniuses. She bases all of this on her objectivist claptrap, claiming rationality as her own private high ground. But this is a general critique of her works. Specifically this book is completely overwritten and serves as flak cover for all the wrong people. The Jack Welch's and Phil Knights that imagine themselves to be the heroes of this book. This book has done more to create a generation of self interested greedy mindless zombies than any other book I can think of.

FALSE WITNESS By Randy Singer What would you do if you had the world’s most powerful algorithm? Would you use it? Would you sell it? Or would you give it away? Professor Dagan develops the Abacus Algorithm which can determine large prime numbers in a matter of minutes rather than in years. He wants to sell it and use the proceeds to help the underground church in China. What follows is a tangled web of lies, kidnappings, murder, torture, and subterfuge. Caught up in this web are three college students – Jamie Brock, Isaiah Haywood, and Wellington Farnsworth. And they are out of their element and out of their league, especially when danger lands on their doorstep. Who will survive the deadly will survive the deadly struggle between the U.S. Government and the Chinese mafia over an encrypted algorithm? When the time for answers comes will the truth come out or will a false witness step forward? False Witness is a thrilling read that shows a shady underside of life that each person must ask themselves, “Would I be willing to do that if it was me?” The answer if given truthfully will reveal something of yourself to yourself. What will you do for justice? I did not care for the death of Jamie's dog Snowball, that was my one big problem with the book. But otherwise it was very well written and interest grabbing.

Andrei lives here not only because he loves it here, but because he belongs here. He once told me that the great tragedy of his life was that he could not hire a "scribe" to follow him around and record his life for him, so that one part of him always had to remain separate from his actions so that he could record it later. Reading this book is a lot like having the privilege of Andrei Codrescu as your personal scribe whilst you shamble through life in the quarter; it's messy, dirty, literate and slightly drunk with love (and other stuff) - it reminds me why nowhere else will ever be home again.
