I Love Books. and other thoughts on life. Thoughts about life in general, moving from one country to another and the trials and tribulations involved.also book reviews, poetry, short stories, family life, teaching, philosophy. Friday, November 18, 2011. Decades of Difference: In your lunch box. Breasts in a newspaper? Enormous breasts on the covers of dodgy magazines? As long as they’re on the top shelf, why not? Breasts feeding babies anywhere public? When to try shellfish and honey, how much chocolate?

Wednesday, August 17, 2011. This presents a fantastic opportunity for watching people and how refreshing it is to see real bodies at the beach or in the pool.
