Re: [UUPoly-L] Those links!!!!! Group newbie: books/resources about polyamory?

huh.  my friend gave the ethical slut to me.  she said she read the first chapter and threw the book across the room because she hated it so much.  but i really did like it, learned some interesting things, and laughed quite a bit.  yes, it did seem to be talking about to me some, but not unbearably, and the rest of the stuff in the books made it worth it to overlook that aspect. i wonder what the difference is between me reading it, and you and my friend.
