Recommended Reading #1

I’ve been considering for a while instigating a regular feature here at The Green Light District called “Recommended Reading.”

The reason for this is that I feel I have often come across things online that I find of interest or would recommend reading for various reasons. Sometimes I would like to (and do) blog about them, but it seems that if I blogged about everything I’ve run across that I have found compelling or worthy of recommendation, I may find myself doing little other than blogging! So this feature is to spotlight such things and provide links for anyone reading here who may feel interested in them as well.

Each “Recommended Reading” post will probably include about three links and include a short description with each summarizing it and/or mentioning why I recommend it. Since in many cases this will probably be self-explanatory, these descriptions/introductions are likely to be concise. : ) I’ll also put general categories in parentheses after each link to give some context of the content—”Sex Work,” “Spiritual,” “Erotic Fiction,” etc.

What is linked to could have been published any time, as I’m not so concerned with “current-ness” if it seems to me something that holds appeal or interest beyond the particular time it was published. If available, though, I will mention publication dates just for context.

I’m planning to present “Recommended Reading” weekly on Wednesdays, and it will have its own category to the left for easy reference.

So, all that said, following is this week’s—and the inaugural—installment of Recommended Reading at The Green Light District!

      “Goodbye Old Friends” on Gentle Nibbles (Personal) 6/2/10

I just discovered this site (via Dr. Dick’s Sex Advice) a couple months ago and have so enjoyed it. It is dedicated to the swinging scene, and I’ve already seen a few things on it that will probably show up in future installments of Recommended Reading. This time, I’m linking to a recent post from the husband half of the couple who hosts the site about his wife’s upcoming (at the time) breast augmentation surgery.

      “Lunar Landscape” by Craig J. Sorensen (Erotic Fiction) 6/24/10

This is a piece I found very beautiful that Craig included in a blog post, complete with introduction.

      “The Medicine of Empowerment” by Dr. Christiane Northrup (Health, Spiritual)

An online acquaintance of mine emailed me the link to this. It is an excerpt from a book and thus includes promotion of the book, but the other content of the excerpt is such that I definitely find it recommended reading.
