I don’t hide them, but I’ve had to explain **The Turner Diaries** and **The Unabomber Manifesto** a couple times…

I’ve got **None Dare Call it Conspiracy** too.

There is also a few UFO’s are real and we have proof type books.

**Animal Farm** is there too. (Right next to the **Garfield** comid strip books.)

**The F Word** got some odd looks from my parents as did a book called **Are French Women Easy?** which were both lost before I could read them.

I don’t know what people think when they look at my shelves.

Everything by Nancy Friday.

Everything by de Sade.

Only one person has mentioned Story of O so far?

Some people get freaked out by the various Irish Republican Army histories I have so I keep them in the back.

A Rush Limbaugh I bought for those times when I want to get boiling mad. I’d die if anyone thought I agreed with one iota of what he has to say about anything.

And a book about how to talk dirty in French.

**How I Did It** , by Victor Von Frankenstein. 😃

**Vox**. Say no more…

**Eaters of the Dead** Early Crichton.

**Black Like Me**.

I think that’s about all. I’ve hundreds of books in various rooms, but those are the titles that jumped out. Oh yeah one more that always makes people stop and gape…

**Facts About Sex For Exceptional Youth**. This was my Mom’s book. She was a Special Ed teacher, and I got it from the house at some point. It’s an amazing 1960’s presentation for emotionally disturbed and mentally retarded kids, on the basics of sex.
