The Soul of Sex: Cultivating Life as an Act of Love 13 reviews Thomas Moore
Harper Perennial, 1999
Rich Exploration of the Senses
+ Far From A Sex Manual
Spiritual writers have always assumed we're trying to get to some loftier plane than this one, where there's lots of love but no sensuality. A sort of endless group hug, perhaps. Without entwining sex with its sentimental partner, love, this book examines the deeper meaning and life-affirming need ...

Love in the Time of Cholera 456 reviews Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Vintage, 2003
