I read the preview of Bryan's book and yep, there are a hell of a lot of
commas. He must have had a very shoddy editor.

I started reading it at work then realized I was logged into my company's

I hope we don’t get recommendations based on it.

How do YOU know so much about those places? : ))

How's the grammar, sentence construction --basic stuff like that. I am sure it's no Steinbeck-move-over work, but would you read it if stuck, say, on an elevator for hours?

It it's nice that you appreciate the morning woody but had to break it
to you.. the morning "excitement" is more of an impediment to the first
morning pee.

I'd like to think that some folks will find the book erotic, but above
all, it's about love, and the characters don't find sex the least bit
embarrassing. An excerpt:

"'...Winter is good. She's *good*. She didn't call herself Queen of
Sex,' Ann snickered, 'though she could have. Put it together. She called
herself the Queen of Love...'"

Winter's non-sexual love for her mother is as central to her story as any
sexual love.

I didn't ask anyone to pay for the book, and made it clear that it will be
free on Dec. 21, but since you did pay (thank you), you don't have to wait
for the "juicy" stuff.

To paraphrase the King of Men, "A day may come when [my bodily functions
might diminish, and in fact, cease], but it is not this day." My servitude
to the Queen of Love continues to be rewarded, but death takes us all in the
end.

Erections certainly do make urination difficult. We USAans have an
expression, "Think about baseball," that pertains to delaying premature
ejaculation, but if you take it to the extreme of thinking about the catcher
for the Blue Jays, or the Ottowa Senators' goalie's jock strap, any
"excitement" should soon vanish.

Did I use too many commas?

Saw this on another NG:

A poem by Willie Nelson

The younger generation may not know it but
at one time Willie Nelson was songwriter of the
year.

Such songs as "Hello Wall", "Crazy" sung by
Patsy Cline, "Funny how Time Slips Away"
and a host of other favorites.

He is also a well recognized poet in his own
circle of friends.

Whether or not you are a country music fan,
these are truly the words of a deep thinker.

So simple, yet so profound! Read the words
of wisdom from that famous philosopher,
Willie Nelson, iconic country and western singer,
on his 80th birthday.

Only a man with such wisdom and maturity
could be so concise and succinct in phrasing
his feelings at this turning point in his life.

"I have outlived my pecker."
A Poem - by Willie Nelson

My nookie days are over,
My pilot light is out.
What used to be my pride and joy,
Is now my water spout.

Time was when, on its own accord,
From my trousers it would spring.
But now I've got a full time job,
To find the friggin thing.

It used to be embarrassing,
The way it would behave.
For every single morning,
It would stand and watch me shave.

Now as old age approaches,
It sure gives me the blues.
To see it hang its little head,
And watch me tie my shoes!!

True I still love the old Willie Nelson stuff.

OK - I gave it a two minute shot. Ho-hum dialogue. Same old subject, predicate, subject, predicate. Pulitzer material it is not. I won't even comment on plot.

Hell, your posts to this group are more interesting and certainly better written.

I was amused by the comment near the end, where one dude seemed to think
that bodies have two livers and one kidney, rather than the other way
around.

In less than 18 hours, 2:00 AM Central time, the price for the book goes
to $0.00 for 24 hours.
