Myth and Knowing

It's a special moment in a persons life when they discover that a horny Sumerian wrote their own 50 Shades of Grey, vis a vis, The Courtship of Inanna and Dumuzi.

I'm not one to read text books for fun--and I suppose I won't make a habit of it--but this ding dang book was a joy.

Heed not the reviews that clammer on about so-called anti christian biasies. Those claims are equally false as they are biased in themselves. Mr. Leonard is abundandly cheritable with all the myths he features, no matter how widely practiced or believed in--something these bemoaned reviewers would know nothing about.

Recommended for those who can't tell the difference between a venerable old man with a white beard a big ol' billy goat.
