I would like to read books on sex, politics and religion, which would write in a humorous way. For instance, in one of the photos above, he talks about three situations about sex, where the behaviour would be labelled as immoral by a number of people. However, he says there is no moral difference between those three situations.

Could you please recommend other books which are on the same lines of saying things which we want to but we can't thanks to culture and etc. (I know you don't like recommending, but still)Pessimist Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06057153008708242962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-90357311228509430392014-09-04T07:50:36.703+05:302014-09-04T07:50:36.703+05:30Sharan: oh yes, everything about Ajitha here was c...Sharan: oh yes, everything about Ajitha here was completely tongue-in-cheek. The pliers aren't always red-hot, just hot enough to make it uncomfortable after a few minutes. Also she can be really nasty after a few drinks, which is often.
