BT Journal Entry II

Yesterday I was reading *Sexus* in the CQ room and caught
hell for it- Marley and DeBenedictis started reading
choice passages aloud and I nearly DIED I was so
embarrassed. I'd told them it's classic literature
but as far as they're concerned it is pornography.
Untrue, but how can I defend such passages as
   She had on a silk bathrobe and a pair of 
   silk hose. As she stooped over the tub to
   put towels on the rack her bathrobe slid
   open. I slid to my knees and buried my
   head in her muff. It happened so quickly
   that she didn't have time to rebel, or even
   to pretend to rebel. In a moment I had her
   in the tub, stockings and all. I slipped the
   bathrobe off and threw it on the floor. I left
   the stockings on- it made her more lascivious-
   looking, more the Cranach type. I lay back and
   pulled her on top of me. She was just like a 
   bitch in heat, biting me all over, panting,
   gasping, wriggling like a worm on the hook.
        (Henry Miller)
!!!!????? Now they're always teasing me about it.
"Hey, Rainwater! Read any good books lately?"
