Re: (Worst) Tarnsman of Gor (Gor, volume 1) by John Norman

Verily, in article <105p7lv$lq3m$1@dont-email.me>, did wthyde1953
@gmail.com deliver unto us this message:

 
Tarl Calbot was not present, and while there was plenty of  talk about
how women should behave towards men, nothing kinky occurred.  Leaving
aside all the talk about slavery, etc, it was sufficient to keep my
attention.  But I never finished it, once I had alternate reading
material.  I wouldn't call it porn in even the slightest degree, but
then I have no idea what happened after Calbot showed up.

It wasn't porn in the literal sense of depicting sex explicitly. It was
more that the entire theme and vibe were from porn. For instance, early
in the book, the protagonist is knocked to the ground by a man who's
angry with her. As she's sprawled and looking up at him, she thinks
about how beautiful she must look with her cringing posture and fearful
expression.

There was more. I didn't finish it. I read enough to know it was both
eyerolly and disgusting, and then I just flipped through the rest.
 

Only later did I discover that the previous tenants had also left behind
"Brat Farrar", an infinitely superior book. It pays to be observant!

I agree! I'd rather have Brat Farrar than twelve Gorn books.
