erastes

Climb in the back with your head in the erastes,
and you're gone.

Which seems very apt, actually.

I am reading The Catch Trap. Superb book. Not the least because it's about 500 pages of fat hardback. But it's not an easy read--I don't mean it's convoluted imagery fuelled drug-induced prose, but there's a few hard realistic aspects to it that -- in these days of publishers who won't look at books with protags having sex under 18 (muttermutterutterbilgedon'tgetmestarted)--would have trouble getting published today. But it is real and I applaud the author for that. Won't say more because I want to review it for SIN (and possibly Jessewave too, if she'll let pass the heterosexual experimentation that both protags do) and I need to get my head straight before I review it. Plus I need to finish it. But soooo good. It's one of those books that you read slowly because you don't want it to end.
