- Wow....I looked at the Madonna book.....(no I did not buy it). I got to
- the part with the dog and closed it. No I do not think it should be burned, but
- I am not entirely sure that it should be in the "non erotica" book stores
- either. Can we clarify something here.....erotica and romance...what's the
- difference? When I think of Romance, I think of feelings and love. When I think
- of Erotica I think of nudity and sex. Is this about right?

- The real problem, from the artist's and the public's point of view, is
- separating pornography from erotica. What contains enough "artistic
- merit" to be called erotica and what is pronography.
- Since you asked, when I think of romance I think of crappy,
- formula novels written for frustrated, middle-aged housewives.
- Is Madonna's book erotica? I haven't seen it and don't care.
- I don't feel compelled to drool brainlessly over mass-media idols.
