Readings for August 27th in "Sex"

Last evening our "Money" discussion drew 20 attendees and ranged over authors as diverse as Thoreau, Marx, Harriet Jacobs, Zora Neale Hurston, John Cheever, and Barbara Ehrenreich. It was the first time in our 8 years together that we've attempted to discuss such a large number of readings (10 in all) at once.

Next month's discussion on "Sex" will focus on seven of the readings contained in that volume.  They are:

David and Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11-12:7)
"To His Mistress Going to Bed," by John Donne
Sex (selection) by Fay Weldon
"Helen of Troy Goes Counter Dancing" by Margaret Atwood
"Lust," by Susan Minot
"Love and Trust" by Louann Brizendine
"For the Relief of Unbearable Urges" by Nathan Englander
