[new addition to the Doug Peterson Collection]
- It was a weird time for metal.
- Opium Addicts Surreptitiously Admire Each Other's Bras
- "Like the wig? It's Bowie's." "Really!?" "No, I found it in a dumpster."
- "Maybe we should've gone with a professional stylist...?" "Shhh ... the panther ... he sees us ..." (seriously, what is that shadow?)
- They had to re-release this book after the original title, Take Me In Indifference, failed to move buyers.
- Love how the "Adult Reading" notice looks much more like "Exciting Feature!" than "Warning!"
- "They had to choose ... but could they?" Look, make up your mind. Those sad shirtless lesbians either had agency or they didn't.
- No, *you're* the passion's puppet! No puppet, no puppet! (dear future, this is a reference to a 2016 political moment that's probably best forgotten, I'm sorry)
- Wow, it gets unexpectedly Homeric there at the end, with "foreordained" this and "all-powerful, erotic destiny" that. The gods do love laughing at havoc.

Marty Green waggled his forefinger before the boy's nose. "No . . . you . . . don't! What do you think I am, like that broad I'm looking for? You think I'm queer like her? Well, she's not even my own daughter, what do you think of that? I adopted her, like a damn fool. Imagine? I adopted a queer!"
I know a lot is happening in this paragraph, but I'm kinda still stuck on "waggled."

P.S. bonus material from p. 123:
"You're drinking nothing! What the hell do you think I am, some kind of a hick? I'm Marty Green!"
