12/11/2005: "New Free Sex"
Ask any marketing guru and they'll tell you: there are 3 words that sell stuff. One is "new". One is "free". And one is "sex".
At present, I'm reading an email murder mystery called "The Daughters of Freya". The cult in the book certainly seems to subscribe to the innovative idea of giving away sex in order to heal the world and achieve lasting peace.
The book itself is also innovative, it that it is published as a series of emails that appear in your inbox over the course of the day for weeks. It's not free, but at US$4.99, it's not exactly unaffordable.
I can't tell you how good the book is - I don't know. I certainly wait in suspence for every instalment. But if I had the book in front of me as a whole, would it hold interest? I'll never know.
