Customer Reviews

A grand collection not limited to sexuality

This book attracted me at first only out of virtue of its title; I thought, "How many gay quotes can there BE?" Upon reading it, it turned out to be much more than a simple gay book, and is full of insights into person, health, truth, and love, along with the interestingly raunchy sayings and bizarre lines from obscure places. I recommend this.
