Among the standards proposed are Mill's three basic liberties of individuals, his three legitimate objections to...

The first of two novels to be written from a...

Do you love books? No, I mean REALLY love books? These series of sketches on the delights, adventures, and misadventures connected with bibliomania (bibliomania is characterized by the collecting of books which have no use to the collector nor any great intrinsic value to a genuine book collector.

THIS IS A ANNOTATED VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL BOOK. WE HAD TRIED TO ADD HANDY SUMMARY AT THE END OF THIS BOOK. THIS BOOK IS STRICTLY FOR ADULTS. The Brief Summary of the book is as follows:-His hand was passed under my bottom, between my legs, and as I covered my face with my hands, I could feel his fingers invade every secret spot in turn, even to forcing a digit up the fundamental orifice, which is always so tight and difficult of entrance, saying, as he did so: “Did you let him go there, or has your husband ever sodomised your bum-hole. My agony was so intense that I could only gasp and...
