Wow....I looked at the Madonna book.....(no I did not buy it). I got to
the part with the dog and closed it. No I do not think it should be burned, but
I am not entirely sure that it should be in the "non erotica" book stores
either. Can we clarify something here.....erotica and romance...what's the
difference? When I think of Romance, I think of feelings and love. When I think
of Erotica I think of nudity and sex. Is this about right?

The real problem, from the artist's and the public's point of view, is
separating pornography from erotica. What contains enough "artistic
merit" to be called erotica and what is pronography.
Since you asked, when I think of romance I think of crappy,
formula novels written for frustrated, middle-aged housewives.
Is Madonna's book erotica? I haven't seen it and don't care.
I don't feel compelled to drool brainlessly over mass-media idols.
