But be forewarned, parts of this eye opening book are devoted to some of the sexual exploits of a few rather promiscuous Villagers.

However, although I (and many Villagers) strongly disagree with some of the opinions expressed by the author in his conclusion about the appropriateness of eschewing our responsibilities to society and the next generation, I think it's a must read for any TV wannabe.

Thanks for the head's up on Belchman's book, EdVinMass. I have read other postings on TOTV about the book, as well. We will take your advice and read the book.
