Summary: Won't Get You Laid, But Will Get You Fed
Review: If you want to eat free for the next few months then read this book and steal Simpson's witty, wicked lines. You'll be invited to every dinner party in town and be the centre of attention. Why Simpson isn't more famous in the US I don't know - but it suits me just fine. All my friends think I'm the new Oscar Wilde.

Summary: No Sexual Stone Unturned!
Review: You either love him or hate him, but one thing is for certain, once you start reading what Mark Simpson has to say about sex you won't be able to stop. I, for one, was never bored or provoked by what he had to say. Simpson has a way of making you think differently about sex. This from an author who is both hated and respected. You may not agree with his comments but you'll think twice about what he has to say. These essays originally appeared in magazines like Attitude, the Independent, and Vogue Hommes International, etc. I found these essays to be funny, sexy, informative, and intelligently written. This book is a great follow-up to his other book, "IT'S A QUEER WORLD".The book is divided into four sections; Dirty Words, Dirty Thoughts, Dirty Talk, and Dirty Books. There are about forty-eight essays and six personal interviews included in this collection so it's hard to choose favorites. Each and every one is thought-provoking, whether he's talking about President Clinton in "Slick Willy" (the Oval Office has become the Oral Office); or the Republican Reaction in "The Sex Terror"; or Brad Pitt in the "Pittfall of Being Brad Pitt" (a victim of his own beauty); or "Eminem Melts in Your Mouth"(is Eminem really what he appears to be?). There's sure to be some serious eyebrows raised while reading some of these chapters. Simpson's interviews with Aiden Shaw & Julie Burchill are not to be missed, fascinating. He even confronts Henry Rollins with those `gay' rumors. Simpson argues there is far too much faith put in sex these days, and it can be ultimately disappointing. What is not disappointing is this book and reading his personal points of view. You will certainly be entertained, educated, and never bored. Perhaps you will even finding yourself thinking differently about sex. This is a book that should be read by all. Simpson really puts things in the proper perspective. Highly Recommended! Joe Hanssen
