Some members felt the book had too many "in your face" sexual comments and were offended, while others felt that it was a little "over the top", but the sexual comments were a very minor piece of the book. After all, one of the main themes is "Lighten Up". It made for a lively discussion, as approximately half the members really liked it and the other half really didn't like it. It's a meaty book, with a lot of substance. It's also a difficult book to start, but once you get into Tom Robbin's rhythm, it's fun. Would recommend it.

The author, John Paxson, did a telephone interview with us. The book is about the manipulation of the public through broadcast news. John's background and vast experience made for an interesting discussion regarding news reports from around the world. It was one of our best meetings.
