    Thanks for the link, which I'll read later this evening. Those are two of my favorite contemporary writers.

      Great find, thanks. I enjoy Tom Wolfe. He's kind of a modern Dickens.

            Some guy in Denver bought a hotel and rigged up some vents so he could peek on this guests (with his wife's help). He observed guests for fifty years and kept a detailed journal. Yowza.

              He was helped in his act by two wives. I'll go out on a limb and say that the guy isn't going to have the outcome he'd hoped for with the publication of this article and subsequent publication of the book.

                    I think it makes you a voyeur of a sex addict.
                    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                      Ha. I read heard about that article yesterday, and was going to post but didn't want to seem too creepy. Jeff on the other hand has no problem being creepy. I bet he has a marauders map of this place.
