Greetings from the Blizzard of ‘05
So in the interest of adding a little diversity to your southern male book club…….You have a new “blogger” (that’s such a weird term) who will attempt to provide the following:
- the Northeasterner NYC center of the universe viewpoint
- the Jewish mom commentary
- and last but not least my ‘rasslin lingo and thoughts to this esteemed site………..
My first book of 2005, The Inner Circle, by T.C. Boyle. If you saw the movie, Kinsey, or have any interest in the topic of sex research - then this is the book for you. While it was a semi-enjoyable, interesting read - I only give it about a 7 out of 10, because I hated the 2 main characters - Milk and Prok. As the book progressed I disliked Prok (aka Kinsey) more and more until my disgust culminated in the last couple of chapters when he stuck a toothbrush into his urethra for his masochist pleasure (now I’ve got your interest………)
Save yourself about 6 hours of reading and see the movie.

A word on our demographics:
While the blog has been formed by a southern male, it is not exclusively so.
Only two of our number are men born and raised in the south.
Two of our number are from South Florida — universally acknowledged as not the South.
Of the South Floridians, one is now a San Franciscan and provides our Left Coast commentary.
Our other South Floridian, a woman, is also a Jewish mother.
And lastly, but not leastly, from the Heartland, our remaining contributor is firmly of and from the Mid-West.
We are currently geogrphically under represented in the Southwest.
My grandfather would also have made note that in our group we have more degrees than a thermometer. With our current 6 particpants, we have 13 degrees by my count.
