What are Kinky People Reading?
During
National Library Week 2006, John Bradford, known as the LA&M's MARC Cub,
asked kinky people to submit the titles of their favorite alt-sex books.
The response was enthusiastic. The LA&M has compiled the responses from
this call and seperated fiction and non-fiction. The titles were then
ranked according to their ranking on
Amazon.com at the time (April 2006). The 2 lists below are the end
results.
