The Voyeur Selection Section

If you have three or more books you really would like, Books Referred will make up a list specifically for an individual. The person sends us the title, author last name, and any other information they think will help us locate the books. Then we find them and post them along with any descriptive information we find. Once posted the individual can pick them right off the screen from one Internet page. Talk about easy shopping! Once they have read the book, we ask that they give us a little comment on it to share with others.

The results, as they progress, are made available to the rest of us so we can benefit from the knowledge and viewpoints of others. It's a bit voyeuristic, and hence, the name.

How does this work?

When you get a book through these pages you obtain the exact same great price as you always get at Amazon.com. However, you do more.

It cost you nothing and helps everyone.

Review (5/97): (Politics and Government Expert Editor's Recommended Book)
A central problem for young, single women is the conflict they experience between what official society tells them they should be and what acting on their own desires can make them feel like. In this book, Naomi Wolf tries to hack a third path through the sexual jungle, one that will pay heed to a young woman's emerging sexuality while protecting her from its most damaging consequences. To this end, she uses frank reportage of her own sexual history and those of her friends, and also a speed-tour of non-Western attitudes towards female sexuality. Her bottom line is worth considering: adult women should create quasi-ceremonial rites of passage for their younger counterparts that would include the transmission of technical sex information and the extraction of promises to postpone intercourse until they feel safe and ready, never to have sex without full consciousness, or to use sex to get love, status, or money.
